Christchurch Gondola Ride
Riding the Christchurch Gondola is a spectacular experience. The 945 meter Gondola ride gently lifts passengers on a six-minute journey in the comfort of a 4 person gondola cabin, almost 500 meters (1500 feet) above sea level. Capture unique 360 degree views of Christchurch and distant peaks of the Southern Alps, see Canterbury Plains and Lyttelton Harbour unfold as you rise to the summit complex, on the crater rim of Christchurch's famous extinct volcano.
There is plenty to do at the summit complex including:
- The Heritage Time Tunnel: Step back in time to discover the fascinating history of the area. Learn about the volcanic origins of the area, early Maori life and the European (English) arrival.
- Nature Walkways and Mountain Biking: Explore the easy walk ways around the crater rim. For the adventurous, mountain bike cross-country options are available.
- Pinnacle (Gondola Restaurant) and Summit Café: Enjoy lunch in the Summit Café, or savor the best of Canterbury cuisine while taking in the extensive views from Pinnacle Restaurant.
- Shop at the Top: Browse through the selection of local souvenirs and gifts, including Gondola mementos, jewelry, clothing and much more. A wide range of product for all ages and budgets!
Why not upgrade to combine both the Christchurch gondola ride and the Hop-on Hop-off 2-day tram pass.
Your Christchurch Hop-on Hop-off pass is valid for two-days. This is the best way to experience Christchurch at your own pace. Jump onboard the beautifully restored trams and hop-on and off at any of the tram stops to explore the sight and attractions up close.
Tram drivers provide a live entertaining and informative commentary throughout the journey.
Triple pass includes the 2-day tram pass, the Christchurch gondola ride plus a 30-minute punt ride. The tranquil and relaxing 30-minute punt ride takes you down the Avon River through the historic inner city of Christchurch.
Attractions do not need to be taken on the same day.
