After a barbecue lunch in Akaroa you'll have time to do a variety of things at your leisure. Perhaps take a harbour cruise, or The Paua Bay Farm Tour where you'll meet these fifth generation farmers and watch the sheepdogs working on the steep hills, see a sheep shearing demonstration and relax with a tea/coffee and home made scones on the homestead verandah and just admire the prolific birdlife at this unique setting. We are happy to help out with any bookings of any activities you decide to do so don't hesitate to ask us!
