Dingen om te doen in Christchurch

Een absolute aanrader! Ik heb zoveel plezier gehad op de boerderij, waar ik alpaca's ontmoette en ze voerde. Vriendelijk personeel. Zeer informatief.

Thoroughly enjoyable hop on hop off tram experience. A good way to get a quick tour with some history to the city and its main sites. The redemption of the tickets at the office was simple and smooth. Commentary by the driver was informative and entertaining. Defintiely recommend trying this for first timers to Christchurch!

The whale watching activity was canceled due to bad weather, but the tour guide seemed inexperienced and unable to arrange and execute a backup plan in a timely manner. When we stopped along the way, they also didn't announce the meeting time. Luckily, the group members were quite good and didn't cause any delays. The guide did provide some brief commentary along the way, and there was someone in our group who didn't understand Chinese, but the guide hardly used English to accommodate them.

We had a wonderful private tour to Akaroa and the alpaca farm from Christchurch. Although it was more pricey, the private tour was absolutely worth it. The highlight of the trip was definitely the alpaca farm. We had plenty of time to feed, pat, and take photos with the alpacas, and we also learned a lot about these gentle animals from the informative session. Our driver & guide Zhen was friendly, helpful, and incredibly patient throughout the day. We especially appreciated how safely and smoothly he navigated the winding hill roads to the alpaca farm, which made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. The tour was well organised and relaxed, giving us enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Christchurch and looking for a memorable day out.

Het gebruik van de Klook Pass Nieuw-Zeeland was een van de beste beslissingen tijdens mijn reis. Het bleek een grote geldbesparing te zijn. Ik wilde verschillende activiteiten doen, maar maakte me zorgen over het weer. Gelukkig biedt de pas flexibele annuleringsmogelijkheden, wat de planning veel gemakkelijker maakte. Ik heb bijvoorbeeld mijn Glowworm Cave-tour twee dagen van tevoren geannuleerd en op een ander moment opnieuw geboekt toen het weer beter was. Het boekings- en annuleringsproces was erg snel en eenvoudig. Ik heb de pas gebruikt voor Shotover Jet in Queenstown, walvissen spotten in Kaikōura en de Glowworm Cave in Rotorua. Over het algemeen waren de besparingen aanzienlijk – het voelde eigenlijk alsof één activiteit gratis was. Het enige waar je rekening mee moet houden, is ervoor zorgen dat je alle activiteiten gebruikt voordat je Nieuw-Zeeland verlaat en het weer controleert, zodat je je boekingen indien nodig kunt aanpassen. Als je van plan bent om meerdere activiteiten te doen, is deze pas zeker de moeite waard en bespaart hij veel geld.

Was an awesome tour to see the dolphins! The captain also gives good information about Akaroa as well. Would recommend taking sea sick tablets if you get motion sickness or sea sick though to make your time more enjoyable.

A lovely wildlife park about 15–20 minutes from the city centre. It’s not a massive zoo, but it’s very interactive; you can buy feed at the entrance and get up close with farm animals and birds. Most of the animals are wonderful, though a few seemed a bit lethargic, possibly due to the smaller enclosure sizes. A highlight was the kiwi area (housed in a nocturnal gallery where you must stay quiet and put cameras away) — the birds are incredibly cute! This zoo is a good spot if you have some spare time in Christchurch.

This tour is highly recommended! Especially in autumn 🍂, the trees along the banks gradually turn red, and there are groups of cute ducklings and Canadian geese. The boatman provides commentary on the history and attractions along the way, which is very informative! It's an activity suitable for the whole family.

Geweldige ervaring! Ik heb Hector dolfijnen 🐬 en ook een bultrugwalvis gezien. Beleefd en vriendelijk personeel.
