DAY TOUR: Christchurch to Akaroa

A trip to Akaroa is also a very special day tour and we know you will enjoy this too.

Akaroa itself is an old whaling township founded by the French in 1840. Today it still has a distinctly French flavour.

The world's smallest and rarest Hector's dolphins are found here and so your afternoon is well spent taking either a Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise of the harbour or, if soundless more interactive fun on the water attracts you, then have fun sailing around the harbour on a wonderful ‘A-class’ Keeler.

Cruise ship visitors catered for with specially designed shore excursions.  Keeping in mind that you only have a limited time to spend with us, we have two special day tours that will let you see Akaroa and the Bays and The Best of Christchurch .   We are also available for private hire for these days or for any other day destination you may choose.     

PRIVATE HIRE

Day Tours:  All our regular day tours are available to you as private hire.  Arthurs Pass in the centre of the Southern Alps is a popular destination, as is Hanmer Springs with its hot thermal pools, and our "local" Waipara vineyards.

Multi-day Tours:  As a visitor to New Zealand you no doubt want to see our magnificent lakes and mountains. These tours are for small groups, which can be as small as one person but our maximum is ten persons.

DAY TOUR: Christchurch City sightseeing plus Lyttelton and Lyttelton Harbour 

A day tour which gives you a good overview of Christchurch and her setting on the edge of the Canterbury Plains with the Port Hills as backdrop.  You get to visit historic bush remnants now enclosed by the city and our beautiful gardens. We also ensure you get the opportunity to visit some of our well known and renowned attractions.

At the end of this day you will have a real feel for Christchurch and the Port Hills, Lyttelton and Lyttelton Harbour. 

HALF DAY TOUR: Christchurch City sightseeing plus Lyttelton and Lyttelton Harbour

Allow us to guide you through the best sights of Christchurch - Mona Vale, the Botanic Gardens, Lyttelton our port, Lyttelton harbour and the Port Hills.  A really good way to get an overview of our City.

LYTTELTON TOURS AND SHUTTLE

We provide a local shuttle service for Lyttelton and Lyttelton Harbour residents on request. Group bookings may also be made.
