Upgrade to combine a 2-day tram pass with a Christchurch gondola ride
Why not upgrade to include both the 2-day tram pass and Christchurch Gondola ride. This special combination offer allows you to visit two of Christchurch's "must see" attractions.
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 experience, Nature Walkways and Mountain Biking.
Both attractions do not need to be taken on the same day.
Want the complete Christchurch experience? Upgrade to the Triple Pass to also include an enjoyable 30-minute punt ride on the Avon River.
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.
