Punting on the Avon at Worcester Bridge is a tourist attraction on Worcester Boulevard, in the Christchurch central city. It has a Google rating of 4.5 from 17 reviews. It has a relaxed trip on the river Avon, with a punter in period dress and views of the city and the gardens.
Punting is a slow way to see a city, and a good trip keeps to a gentle pace so passengers can take in the banks and the trees. Riverside trips are often calmer in the early morning or late in the day. Wearing layers helps, as the breeze on the water can feel cooler than the street. Regulars tend to choose a fine, still day, when the water is calm and the views are clearest.
For a slow look at Christchurch's central city and gardens from the river, a punting trip from Worcester Boulevard is a relaxed way to spend part of a day.
