Super Saver Pass: Christchurch Tram, Gondola Ride, and Punting

About this experience

The Super Saver Pass: Christchurch Tram, Gondola Ride, and Punting is a combined sightseeing pass in Christchurch, New Zealand, covering three of the city's most recognised ways to see the landscape. The pass bundles a heritage tram circuit through the central city, a gondola ride up to the Port Hills above Christchurch, and a punting session on the Avon River. The gondola ascends to roughly 500 metres, offering views across the Canterbury Plains, the Southern Alps, and Lyttelton Harbour. Each element of the pass operates independently, so visitors can use them in any order across the validity period. The tram follows a loop through the rebuilt city centre, passing key landmarks along the way. The Avon punting takes place on a stretch of river flanked by willows and parkland, with a punt operator guiding the boat. Tickets cover one use of each attraction and are valid for a set number of days from first activation, giving flexibility to spread the activities across a short stay. Check the schedule for each operator when booking, as departure times and seasonal hours vary.
