Discover Christchurch Sightseeing Tour with optional International Antarctic Center Admission

Spend the morning or afternoon discovering Christchurch. Visit the famous Mona Vale homestead and gardens, before climbing the Port Hills for fantastic views of the city, the Canterbury Plains and the mighty Southern Alps. A must see tour for all those vacationing in the 'Garden City'.

The tour commences by covering the central city highlights, including Cathedral Square, Victoria Square, Thomas Edmonds former band rotunda and the Avon River, Town Hall, the floral clock, Law Courts, Provincial Chambers, Christ's College, Museum, Botanical Gardens, Arts Center, Worcester Boulevard and the Bridge of Remembrance.

On leaving the city the tour travels around Hagley Park, arriving at the Mona Vale homestead and gardens. From Mona Vale the tour travels across town towards the Port Hills viewing the Catholic Cathedral on your way to the hillside suburbs. From Mt Pleasant you enjoy the city and beach views. Carry onto the seaside suburb of Sumner where you stop at Cave Rock. Return to Christchurch via the Lyttleton tunnel and travel back to the city center via the Eastern suburbs, with a drop off in the central city or a return to your Christchurch accommodation.

Why not combine the Christchurch Sightseeing tour with admission into the International Antarctic Center -  The center recreates the atmosphere of Antarctica with a Snow and Ice Experience, the Blue Penguin Encounter and an exhilarating Hagglung ride. This will add an additional two-hours to your sightseeing tour.
