Sightseeing
Great getting out and about on a sunny day, with a packed lunch, and your camera. Easy walking tracks. Great harbour views. The islands history. Collecting stones off the beach. Swimming, and changing rooms. Flush toilets. Great picnic area by the beach.

Great way to stretch your legs walking or cycling. I’d rank these tracks as difficult, so if you like a challenge, these tracks are for you! Great views. You might even pop into the gondola cafe for a bite to eat and drink. They have great food and breathtaking views! And maybe take a ride down the hill on the gondola. A bus will take you back into Christchurch city. I found volcanic glass up at the crater rim one time I was up there, I got to tell you that made my day! Bring lots to drink while walking. Sun block, sun hat, sun glasses. Trust me on a hot day you’ll thank me!

No I’m not recommending you go to the horse races.... the Riccarton racecourse hosts the Sunday market from 8:00am to 12:00 noon. Lots of things to see and do...live music, fast food both hot and cold. Books, plants, paintings, crafts, car boot sale.
