The Christchurch Gondola

Start the day with a relaxing ride and breath-taking view in the Christchurch Gondola.
Soar suspended above the valleys as you look out over the Canterbury Plains to the mighty Southern Alps and the dramatic hills of Banks Peninsula.
Once at the top, take the easy stroll down the track to Lytteltons Village, appreciating the natural scenery and breathing in the crisp morning air.

The Saturday Markets in Lyttelton
10am - 1pm
Once you are in the Lyttelton Village, treat your senses to amazing tastes, smells and sights at the buzzing Lyttelton Saturday Market down the main street of Lyttelton on London Street.
Buy some tasty fresh food from the friendly stall holders and pick up some organic treats to take home for later.
Enjoy the atmosphere of live music, and conversation as you drift from stall to stall, tasting and talking with the passionate stall owners who love to tell you about their produce or creations.
Whether you love mussels wrapped in bacon, hot dark melted chocolat' in a cup or giant vegetarian sandwiches, there is always something for everyone.

Ferry Trip to Diamond Harbour
6.50am-10.50pm
After indulging in wonderful atmosphere of the Lyttelton Markets, walk down to the water where the Diamond Harbour Ferry departs over the bridge.
Bask in the sunshine and sea-spray as the Ferry takes you across the blue sea to your awaited destination.
Once at Diamond Harbour, you can either pick a track and walk through the lush forest or down to the Bay, or wander up to the small village and savor a wine or beverage in the sunshine on the deck.
Diamond Harbour is a world of its own, serene and peaceful, leading you to feel miles away from the City.

Going home Tips
If you are wanting to get back to your car by Gondola before it closes, catch the Ferry back to Lyttelton and take the same track back up the hill to where you catch the Gondola and glide back down in your cosy cable car.
If by some instance you are having way too much wild fun on your date and you miss the Gondola, you can walk up the track to the Gondola and then keep walking straight back down to your car.
Alternatively, if you both are completely exhausted from such an amazing day, then jump on the number 28 bus from Lyttelton and let the bus driver know where you are parked so they can let you off.
