Description
About the Akaroa Day Tour from Christchurch
Nestled in a sheltered harbour and surrounded by rolling hills, Akaroa is one of New Zealand’s most charming coastal towns—and the country’s only French settlement. On this private day tour from Christchurch, enjoy a relaxed journey through the breathtaking Banks Peninsula, with plenty of opportunities for scenic photo stops along the way.
Once in Akaroa, you’ll have time to explore the quaint village streets, browse local boutiques and galleries, enjoy a waterfront lunch at a café or restaurant, or take an optional cruise to spot Hector’s dolphins, the world’s smallest and rarest marine dolphins.
Your tour is fully customisable. Want to visit a local winery, cheese factory, or lavender farm? No problem. Prefer to spend more time surrounded by nature? We’ll tailor the day to match your group’s pace, interests, and preferences.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family adventure, or peaceful escape from the city, HAULA® provides a comfortable, safe, and personalised experience—backed by local knowledge and genuine Kiwi hospitality.
