Christchurch Gondola, Christchurch Overview
Opened in 1992, the Christchurch Gondola is a 15 minutes ride that starts at the base at Heathcote Valley and carries passengers to the summit of Mount Cavendish over a kilometre. The cable car allows passengers to take in the sweeping panoramic views of Christchurch, the Southern Alps, and the Canterbury Plains in the distance.
Located a short 15-minute drive from central Christchurch, the Christchurch Gondola takes you up to the top of Port Hills, where a gift shop and a restaurant are also found. An attraction at the summit called the Time Tunnel takes visitors back in time, from the smoking volcanoes that created New Zealand to the early Maori and European settlements and to the inception of Christchurch itself.
