Bikes are a little tired but performed ok and battery lasted the 4 hours including a hill climb. Fun day exploring Sumner from CHCH
Had a group of 7 aged from 16 to 89 and everyone enjoyed the day. Commentary was great and changed around to suit as we went around twice. Thanks to our driver Kris for an awesome day
My butt hurts because I’m not a cyclist, I haven’t been on a bike since intermediate school and this was well worth it! Our guide was really lovely and the ride was stunning. Love how the e-bike makes hills easy. I’d do this again in a heartbeat.
The driver was courteous, informative and a good driver. There was a passenger who missed the pickup and we pulled over and waited approximately 15 minutes for this passenger to be brought to the bus. I was surprised that they would do this as everyone on the bus was held up because of one passenger. The driver was very apologetic and tried to make up the lost time. We had a great day and I would recommend this service.
Beautiful journey with a great driver.
It's was great experience to see the sight of land and the sea. Also the wildlife. It was awesome. You can take many pictures but picture can not describe what you see yourself.
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!
I was on a cruise with Kate, Alex and Bri. The girls were great at spotting wildlife, especially the dolphins that everyone is hoping to see! The cruise was a well run and professional experience that takes you around the harbour and the skipper will tell you a bit about the history of different areas of Akaroa as you go past. We stopped by a area known to have some NZ fur seals. The dolphins came to bow ride at the front of our boat. We were also lucky enough to spot a new calf!
Great experience with beautiful views
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.
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.
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.
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!
Beautiful view!
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.
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.
Beautiful view & ride on the Gondola
Was beautiful weather and awesome sight seeing
Great for the family, beautiful views in all directions.
Was cloudy and very windy when wr went so make sure you go on a sunny day ! Otherwise ot is quite the veiw ! ??
Great service. Beautiful sceneries. The gondalas experience was totally over my expectations. Would love to try it at night next time. Many thanks.
Absolutely amazing staff, and the scenery was mind blowing, complementary time tunnel ticket which was a good bit of fun - I feel bad to say but don’t count on the cafe to provide A+ food and coffee, it’s fairly standard cafe menu/cabinet food and just drinkable coffee but let’s be honest you don’t go there for the food you go there for the experience and the views, both of which are exceptional.
Such a stunning views of Christchurch and much more! Can be windy up the top of the maunga/hill as expected so make sure you rug up as it is well worth it
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.
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
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.
Everything was perfect, should introduce few more for kids up to the top, so kids can spend more time the activities .
The Gondola and views are amazing. The restaurant, not so much. The only reason this has a 4 star review is because the restaurant let it down. The food was less than average for the high prices. The customer service from the restaurant team was lack lustre and to top it off I ended up with a sore stomach and spewing from the food. The Time Travel Experience was a fun way to get to know the history of the Canterbury region in brief and the 360 views over New Brighton beach and Lyttleton were priceless!
It was very windy,and was scary coming down.Shame the time tunnel was not available..
Great afternoon out with the family- beautiful views - gosh we live in a speculator place- so pleased to call it home
Great experience
We had fantastic weather and great views. Also thoroughly enjoyed the time tunnel experience with your awesome lady taking us through the process!
Well worth a trip 'to the top' ! Fantastic views. We were pleased we grabbed some bookme reduced cost tickets as the Time Tunnel was not available. Disappointing.
The place is very beautiful and We got a huge discount in the ticket ride. Thanks bookme.co.nz
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 :)
Love this Gondola ride its so worth it. A very nice place to take photos and good to know history of the place. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Been about 13 years since ive been up there. Terminal building up ontop looking a bit tired and weathered, could use a freshen up. The Time Tunnel was neat, my 5 year old daughter loved the whole trip. The photo package you get offered at end is way too expensive, cost more than my ride tickets.
