Banks Peninsula - Day Tour From Otahuna
No trip to Otahuna is complete without discovering the dramatic Banks Peninsula and its extinct volcanic harbour. Your expert guide will drive you from the Lodge around the base of the Port Hills to Hilltop where you will have wonderful views over Akaroa Harbour more than 1000 feet below.
Descending into Akaroa, New Zealand’s only original French settlement, you will board a two-hour scenic cruise taking in views of the dramatic coastline and getting up close and personal with Hector Dolphins (the world’s smallest and rarest dolphins), Fur Seals and Little Blue Penguins.
Back on shore you can explore the local shops and colonial architecture of the quaint seaside village or visit one of the region’s most interesting gardens perched on the edge of a sea cliff overlooking the Pacific.
Allow 8 Hours - tour includes a gourmet picnic hamper or café-style lunch with wine.
Option: A private charter harbour cruise of Akaroa can be arranged with this experience.
