Visit Akaroa from Christchurch (Small Group Tour with lunch)
Overview
On this incredibly scenic small group tour, visit Akaroa and explore the Banks Peninsula with one of our friendly and knowledgeable local guides.
This excursion, starting and finishing in Christchurch, is a genuinely picturesque experience. Visit some of the small settlements around Lyttelton Harbour and Akaroa Harbours. Learn about fascinating local history, how an enormous extinct volcano shaped this rugged landscape and how the landscape continues to shape the people who live here.
In Akaroa, depending on your chosen option, you’ll either visit the whimsical Giant’s House—filled with vibrant mosaic
sculptures—or enjoy a harbour cruise, where you may spot Hector’s dolphins, fur seals, and seabirds. In town, there are opportunities to try the local cuisine, shop for souvenirs, or admire the local artworks. For those who are more active, a few bush and coastal walks are available along the way.
A day trip that can be busy and active or laid back and relaxing.
