Join me on this tour and find out why Akaroa is the most popular day destination for Christchurch locals ! Together let's discover the incredibly scenic Banks Peninsula, with its extinct volcanoes and find out about the Maori, French and English history unique to this area. I am a native "kiwi" who has travelled the world on land and sea and chose this magical area to settle down in some years ago. . . . . . there are not many places you can go skiing on Saturday and sailing on Sunday ! I am passionate about history and nature and feel my years as a teacher help me tell the story of this area which to me is one of the most fascinating in NZ . You will love this tour because of the variety of beautiful locations we visit like the NZ "Stonehenge" and hidden gems with amazing views, perfect for the perfect photos to take home. . . . . . and you will gain will an understanding of the colourful lives of the people who lived here through a series of stories as we traverse this spectacular landscape.
- Enjoy the scenic road to Akaroa via Lyttelton Harbour, Gebbies Pass, Lake Ellesmere and Little River (Art Gallery/Cafe and the old railway station which has been converted into a Crafts Centre). - Then stop at "the Hilltop" on the crater rim for photos of Akaroa Harbour from 1500 ft above - Visit Barrys Bay Cheese Factory to sample some of their fine cheese. - Explore quaint Akaroa township's shops and cottages -choose an option below OPTIONS : -Lunch (fish and chips) -Black Cat Nature Cruise, Akaroa. . . . highly recommended ! (2 hours, look for Hector's Dolphins (the world's smallest), Little Blue Penguins, seals etc. ) -Taste wine at a local winery -Birdling's Flat (look for jemstones on the beach) -Okains Bay Museum -International Antarctic Centre @ Chch Airport My tours are flexible and very personal so let me know exactly what you would like and I will do my best to provide a fun and informative day out !
