Explore Akaroa from the water on a private day tour from Christchurch, exclusively for your group. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so no one needs to drive. You take the scenic crater-rim route over Banks Peninsula, with a stop at a local cheese maker, then paddle the sheltered volcanic harbour by guided sea kayak, gliding past cliffs, sea caves and resting fur seals, often among seabirds and rare Hector's dolphins; stable kayaks and full gear make it achievable with moderate fitness. Prefer to stay on land? Choose a guided e-bike instead. A curated lunch is included. Includes complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off and a premium private vehicle with your own guide.
