Day Tours.....

Akaroa day tour

We start the day from Christchurch and travel over the Port Hills ........... many stops along the way......... reaching the French flavoured township of Akaroa with time to explore.............

"Thanks for a great day out! Excellent tour, great Host!"

Jennifer & John, England

Christchurch City Sightseeing plus Lyttelton Harbour    

Our original Christchurch City Sightseeing tour has been modified as much of the central Christchurch city remains inaccessible since a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch on 22 February 2011.  However, this new tour is no second best!  It takes in Lyttelton, Lyttelton Harbour, the Port Hills separating Christchurch from its port, and seeks out the always popular attractions.

This day tour begins with a sightseeing tour of Christchurch ........ sea filled crater that is Lyttelton Harbour ............ quaint and quirky port town of Lyttelton.........

"Thanks so much for your friendliness and all the great information.  We have had a wonderful day."
