Awesome day out,enjoy it so much i keep going back
Such a great experience with family or friends. While on the ferry, the views were fascinating and such a great adventure when we were in Quail Island. The staff were so nice and bubbly. Would love to do this again.
Great experience with beautiful views
This restaurant located in the corner of street. Yummy food and friendly staff. Because it's mainly offer southeast food, the overall taste is sour and sweet. Average cost per person is around $20 for a simple lunch. Highly recommend for the shrimp and kumara cake. All my families love it sooooo much.
We both really enjoyed our meal here. We had entrees and a main each. The mains were large, the ingredients all very fresh, and the fish tasted straight from sea to plate. Cant beat that taste. Plus the prices affordable for a couple of pensioners. We will definitely be going back!
Was very nice. Staff were lovely, and the views at the top ?? if only the sky wasn’t so cloudy when we went up. Overall (even with the freezing cold) it was a good ride, would defiantly recommend it to friends n family
Had a great day out at the Christchurch Adventure Park. Would reckon it’d be quite weather dependent, but we had great weather. Staff were very friendly and informative. Made us all feel very safe and secure. Would definitely go again :-) a bit pricey to go without the sale, but considerable.
My two friends and I found it great fun! I’m scared of heights but the adrenaline made it a great experience. Would definitely do it again! ??
Beautiful place, longest chairlift, nice cafe, clean
My kids really loved the zipline experience. The support staff were so friendly and funny it made them comfortable all throughout the experience. Highly recommended!
Two of us photographers went up to the top in the late afternoon yesterday and waited till the sun came below the clouds - fantastic views. Great experience - thank you
Great guides (Eve & Michael) on a drizzly cold winters day. Safety was number 1 for them. Low cloud blocked the view on zipline but it was pretty cool not being able to see in front of you. They (guides) were encouraging to our friend who wasn’t keen on heights but didn’t make a big deal about it. Zipline was fun. Shame about the fire taking out so many frees on the first two lines. Only downside is the muddy & slippery walks between lines/towers. They should look at putting in a proper track / steps. We will go back for sure but when it’s warmer. If your going in winter - wear solid walking boots or similar, a few layers, beanie, gloves & water/wind proof pants & jacket. They do have bright yellow pants/jacket you can borrow but they are all pretty big.
It was a fantastic experience for me, to ride a zipline @Christchurch adventure park, i want to do it again.
Great view, the time tunnel was a added bonus, really interesting
It was a great experience despite the snow showers and wind. Absolutely stunning view!!!! It was super easy to get to the it by getting the gondola shuttle in the city centre!
I went for a visit to the Christchurch gondola on a beautiful sunny day in January 2021. This was my first time visiting with my niece. We had a really lovely time taking photos and going for a wee walk while we were there. The views were breath taking and serene. This is a must when visiting Christchurch. We enjoyed refreshments and I a cheeky wine while gazing outside to the stunning views of the city. The staff were very friendly on arrival and provided very great customer service in the cafe. The Time Tunnel Experience was a bit disappointing. Maybe need to think about updating this, looks very out dated and the poor pronunciations of the Maori words. It would be nice to also hear more about the Maori history in this region. Apart from this a very good experience! thank you.
Beautiful view!
That was an awesome experience for me with a beautifull weather but even windy it was so much fun And did not affect once in the tracks a bit at the top but good no more afterwards. As an old bmx rider, Morgan our coach compared everyones sport to mountain bike giving usefull development tips. Good gears bikes are in very good conditions. I need to come again for a new day ! Thanks guys !
I love the view from the top and have been up many times via the road, but taking the gondola made for a really different experience. The ride is smooth as surprisingly long, to make the most of the views on the way to the top. Once at the top you arrive into the gift shop and at the back of level 1, down some stairs is the cutest time tunnel ride explaining the history of Canterbury, which was a surprise as I didn't know this was here let alone that we had it included in our ticket price. I was showing visitors around Christchurch and this is an awesome activity to show of the stunning area we live in. The top level has the views and a really nice cafe, we had tea and cake whilst we enjoyed our surroundings, Would reccomend for sure.
We really enjoyed our gondola trip on a sunny Christchurch afternoon. The views out across Christchurch & down into Lyttelton were fantastic. We also throught the "time tunnel" was a fun addition to learn more about the history of the region & the early settlers.
Beautiful view & ride on the Gondola
Excellent views and quite serene. Enjoyable for the whole family. Wish we had noticed the family package because it was less expensive but still worth it for what we paid. The Tunnel back in time was an unexpected treat. Operators were super friendly. Put it on the list for a must do.
Was beautiful weather and awesome sight seeing
Experience itself was exhilarating, and the staff made it even better. Amenities and facilities were clean and ample. Recommend highly.
My partner and I had the Best Christmas present doing the zip line! Beautiful views, great staff telling jokes and tricks making it fun! Would definitely do it again! Thank you guys for the amazing experience!
It was very windy,and was scary coming down.Shame the time tunnel was not available..
Great experience despite the rains and the wind. Try not to pick a windy day to go up the top.
Amazing experience
It was spectacular experience Place i never explored before i really enjoyed the peaceful environment on top and really stunning venue i dont want to leave this place but i need to go back Auckland but I really enjoy the Christchurch and particularly ‘Christchurch Gondola’ always in my heart
I booked online,so picked up tickets at counter, we went up to the top great views, looked at the shop spent a bit and came back down, it wasn't until we were driving back to Dunedin that I seen we were supposed to go to a wee show up the top, no body mentioned it and there was no signs, we didn't know so the kids missed out gutted, they would of loved it.
Nice view of the harbor area and a nice cafe if you want to have breakfast.
It was amazing gondola ride, lovely food and wine and friendly team members. We have been unlucky with the clouds but we knew it when we booked the ride :)
A lovely place to go on a fine day for spectacular views of Christchurch and Lyttleton Harbour. Also found the time tunnel ride taking us back in time quite informative
Always a nice day out.
It was a fantastic day out with stunning views on top. Definitely recommended. The shop on top was a bit over priced though, so couldn't buy much.
Loved the incredible views. Learning the background of how Christchurch came about was great. One of the staff were really friendly, which helped make it a very positive experience. And of course the gondola ride was awesome.
We had a fantastic time here. The weather was amazing and the views are spectacular. We did two of the track walks and these were definitely worth it. The food in the cafe is delicious and the bonus was a 7 minute ride which takes you through the history of Christchurch. Did not expect any of this when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family of any age.
It is so awesome. .Highly recommended to visit it
