Experience the vibe of Christchurch on this two-hour guided scenic panoramic drive. Your journey begins with a scenic ascent over Evans Pass with sweeping views of Lyttelton Harbour and the surrounding volcanic hills.
Travel along the coastline to the picturesque seaside suburb of Sumner, where the charm of beachside cafés, rugged rock formations, and fresh sea air captures the relaxed Kiwi lifestyle.
Pass through Christchurch's red zone — an area steeped in quiet resilience, where nature is gradually reclaiming neighborhoods impacted by the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
In the city, discover how Christchurch has beautifully blended heritage with innovation. Your guide will share insights into the city's ongoing transformation as you view highlights such as Cathedral Square, the partially restored Christchurch Cathedral, the acclaimed Cardboard Cathedral, and the lively Margaret Mahy Playground.
Take in the serene flow of the Avon River and see how creativity has shaped the city's post-earthquake identity through public art and community spaces.
Time permitting, guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
Please note:
Afternoon tours do not offer a city drop-off option. Tour consists of sightseeing from the transportation. Participants must be able to climb a few steps to board the coach without assistance.
