Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula is a quiet little settlement with its origins in both English and French influences.
On the way to Akaroa we pass through Little River where there is an opportunity to stop for refreshments if you choose to.
Many restaurants and boutique stores to explore during your time here.
There is a Marine Reserve at the harbour entrance and is known for the rare and endangered Hector’s Dolphin.
Your day starts when we pick you up from your accommodation at an agreed time. We would suggest 9am.
