Punting, Wine & Botanic Garden


Sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Banks Peninsula on the drive to Melton Estate Winery. Melton Estate is a boutique winery that produces award winning wines and a beautiful venue. Then, continue to Christchurch to board a punt, a flat bottomed boat, for a leisurely cruise along the Avon River. Sink back into the velvet cushions of your boat as the Edwardian punter gently glides you down the river. Then join the ‘Caterpillar’, an electric, open-air shuttle for a guided tour through the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. Special Notes: Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat and jacket, plenty of biodegradable sunscreen and bring bottled water. The scenic drive to and from Christchurch is approximately 90 minutes. Tour order may vary
