GREAT SHORE EXCURSION OF CHRISTCHURCH

5.00I booked this shore excursion tour for the 23 December 2025. The details for meeting the tour were very clear and went without a hitch. Although I have been to Christchurch several times I liked the itinerary that was offered. From our start we travelled over a coastal area with magnificent views. We had a couple of stops at tourist spots and a drive around the earthquake affected areas before having a lunch break in Christchurch. After lunch we visited the Antarctic Centre, what a great experience they offer. Our trip back to the ship took us on a different route. More magnificent scenery over another set of hills. We had a great group of people who always were on time and that makes for a good tour. Our driver / guide "Scotty" was exceptional, his knowledge of the area was outstanding, You won't be disappointed on this tour.
A Fascinating and Fun Day Exploring Christchurch

5.00We had a fantastic day exploring Christchurch with Scotty as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both the Lyttelton and Christchurch areas and clearly passionate about sharing the region’s history and stories. His commentary added so much depth to the experience, especially as we saw firsthand the lasting impact of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. Sites like the Christchurch Cathedral and the vast stretches of empty land in the Red Zone were powerful reminders of the city’s resilience and ongoing recovery. One of the highlights of the day was our peaceful walk through Mona Vale Garden Park. It was a beautiful, serene spot to stretch our legs and enjoy the gardens and the Avon River. We finished at the Rose Garden, where we spent time smelling and photographing the stunning blooms. We then headed to Riverside Market, where we were given plenty of time to explore on our own. It’s a vibrant, bustling place full of great food and local flavour. We enjoyed wandering through the stalls before settling down with a delicious pie and coffee for lunch. Our final stop was a two‑hour visit to the International Antarctic Centre, which was an absolute standout. The Hagglund ride was thrilling — very bumpy and at times quite jolting — but such a fun way to get a feel for the rugged terrain faced in Antarctic conditions. It’s not for everyone, but with seat belts and grab straps, we felt secure and loved every minute. Inside the centre, we enjoyed meeting the rescue penguins, patting the gentle huskies, experiencing the polar storm room, and watching the immersive 4D cinema. Overall, it was a well‑paced, engaging, and memorable day. Scotty’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience even more special. Highly recommended.

5.00We booked the Christchurch Sightseeing with Antarctic Centre tour through TripAdvisor (operated by Leisure Tours) while on our honeymoon cruise from Sydney to New Zealand, and it was absolutely fantastic. The entire experience was great fun, very informative, and excellent value for money, far cheaper than similar tours offered elsewhere. Our driver, Scotty, was outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable from start to finish. His commentary, humour, and local insights truly added something special to the tour. We honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations and was a real highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!
A christchurch city tour with a driver ( who wanna be a tour guide).

4.00It was a schedule changed due to the weather. I think we were grouped with others with originally different tours. Thus was Christchurch city tour and we did not have a tour guide just a driver ( who wanna be a tour guide). Because instructions were not clear, we lost 3 persons and wasted a good 15-20 minutes.

5.00Due to weather, our ship had to leave port early so there wasn’t adequate time for the full tour. Our tour guide was excellent and modified our tour to meet the time allotted. Scotty was very knowledgeable and shared the backstory of the Christchurch earthquake and the rebuilding and redesign of the downtown core.
Excellent service and ability to adapt tours to cruise ship changes.

5.00Unfortunately on the morning of our shore excursion in Lyttelton the ships captain announced that due to expected high winds our time in port was halved. We followed Leisure tours clear instructions to our meeting place where we discovered they were aware of the situation and were therefore providing us with a half day tour of Christchurch. Our early departure made the Antarctic centre impossible. Scotty our driver guide made the tour informative, interesting and fun. As guaranteed we were back at the ship in good time for our all aboard time. Before we had even boarded the ship leisure tours had refunded our Artic centre ticket price. Thank you leisure tours for being so efficient and saving what might have been a disappointing day.
