Join us for a wonderful adventure exploring the Banks Peninsula with our friendly and knowledgeable local guides! Our small group tour is perfect for visitors to Christchurch.
We'll start and end the full-day tour in Christchurch and promise you a genuinely scenic experience.
This tour takes you through the scenic landscapes of Banks Peninsula to the historic French settlement of Akaroa, with stops at charming stone rest houses and morning tea in Little River. In Akaroa, you'll either visit the whimsical Giant’s House, famous for its vibrant mosaic sculptures and terraced gardens, or, if you choose to upgrade, enjoy a harbour nature cruise where you may spot Hector’s dolphins, fur seals, and seabirds. (Please note: The harbour cruise option replaces the visit to The Giant’s House.)
Afterwards, you'll have free time to sample local cuisine, browse boutique shops, or take a relaxing coastal walk. The return journey follows the stunning Summit Road, with a final stop at Kaituna Valley Scenic Reserve before heading back to Christchurch.
Whether you're looking for a busy and active day or a laid-back and relaxing one, a trip to Akaroa from Christchurch is a must-do for anyone visiting the area.
