The ferry normally operates daily: 8.00am to 10.00am and 4.00pm to 6.00pm subject to river conditions. However, in winter it operates from 8.00am - 10.00am and 3.00pm - 5.00pm.  The ferry does not operate in the hours of darkness. The ferry does not operate on Good Friday, and Christmas day.  It will be closed in the morning on ANZAC Day.

JULY -OCTOBER 2020   TEMPORARY CHANGE OF HOURS   10AM -2PM EVERYDAY

There is no charge.

Sometimes due to variable river conditions, the punt may not be operating. Please contact Council on 0800 801 350 during office hours 

PLEASE NOTE:
1. The operation is hugely reliant on water level and weather. The volume of water in the river is basically what is released from Roxburgh Dam, which we get approximately 8hrs later. We can operate in the range of 400-850 cumecs (give or take, depending on the wind strength and direction - remember this is a buoyant vessel). WE RECOMMEND phoning the Punt shed and talking to the operator (during hours of operation only).  03-415 9068  He/she will advise if operating or not.
2. Operating hours are now 10am till 2pm, 7 days a week. This change is due to the local bridge closure over the Tuapeka River, which is until mid October. These hours may stay, or MAY revert to the 2hr slots in the morning and afternoon.
If you have a large group wishing to visit please give us plenty of advance warning. Also, should you have a large group, and you wish to visit outside normal hours, you should contact James Allison at the Clutha District Council in the first instance (james.allison@cluthadc.govt.nz).
