Enjoying Christchurch Tram City Tour

A visit to Christchurch, one the biggest city in the South Island of New Zealand, will not be complete without taking the tramway.

I have been enjoying tramway and cable cars whenever I can find them. So on my last visit to Christchurch in December 2021,  I took the chance to enjoy the trip together with the team, headed by Ambassador Tantowi Yahya, to enjoy Christchurch Tram City Tour. This is obviously one of the landmarks of the city and of people's favorite too.


We went to the Tram station and buy the ticket which costs you NZD 30 per adults and up to 3 kids can come for free. Additional kids will have to pay for NZD 5. 

Since we visited during the pandemic, we followed the health protocol by scanning the QR code, wearing masks, cleaning our hands frequently, and keeping the safe distance.

Once the tram arrived we hopped on and took our seats. It didn't take long to wait until the tram started to move. We were so excited indeed.

There are many spots you can enjoy while taking this Tram City Tour and since it is hop - on - hop - off system, you can definitely stop in one of the places and hop on again for the next destination. During our trip, it was raining cats and dogs so we chose to stay inside the tram all the way from the beginning till the end of the tour.

so, where are we going to stop now?

The tram stops at 17 spots, including the Canterbury Museum and Botanic Gardens, The Cathedral, the Riverside Market, Art Center and New Regent Street, which is packed with wonderful cafes, stores and eateries. So many choices to stop by and you will definitely enjoy the trip.

After the trip for about 40 minutes, we were back to the station again and decided to go to the nearby cafe, waiting for the rain to stop and getting ready for our next meeting.

  1. Saya baru tahu kalau Tantowi Yahya jadi Duta Besar di NZ. Pertama kali lihat harga tiket naik tram terlihat mahal, tapi ternyata anak-anak bisa naik gratis, yaa. Kalau sama family bisa hemat juga hitungannya. Apalagi spot yang bisa dikunjungi cukup banyak.

  8. Berarti penumpangnya renggang2 ya Mba duduknya di tram? NZ kemarin sempat bebas masker karena kasus sangat terkendali di awal, tapi ternyata kebobolan juga. Emang paling bener tetap proses kemana2 ya

    Rasanya menaiki Tram City Tour ini seperti mengarungi masa lalu. Hihi..karena di beberapa kota di Indonesia masih tampak jalur trem di jalan.

  16. Sistem hop on hop off itu jadinya nggak perlu bayar lagi ya Kak ketika mau naik setelah berhenti di suatu tempat? Seru bangeeet. Meski hari itu hujan dan Kak Indah tetap ngikutin trem sampai akhir, aku tetap merasakan keseruannya. What a nice trip.
