Hop on the Christchurch Gondola up to the peak of Port Hills for the best vantage point of the city. Soak in the 360 degrees views, from the Christchurch skyline and Canterbury Plains on the west side, to the sparkling Lake Ellesmere in the South and even out to the Pacific Ocean in the north. Your visual senses will be inundated with views of the spectacular and dramatic landscape. Relax with a coffee or snack at the Red Rock Cafe or go back 12 million years on the Time Tunnel ride and experience Christchurch throughout time!
