Highlights

A Kayaking Adventure Through History and Nature


Embark on an unforgettable journey to Akaroa, a charming French settlement
nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Banks Peninsula. Your
adventure begins with a scenic drive along the high summit route, where awe-
inspiring vistas of farmlands, Akaroa Harbour, the Canterbury Plains, and the
distant Southern Alps unfold before you.


Enjoy the exclusivity of a small-group adventure, limited to 8 guests,
allowing for a more immersive and tailored experience as you explore the
wonders of Akaroa.





Sea Kayaking Safari: Explore Akaroa's Pristine Waters


The heart of this experience lies in an exhilarating Sea Kayaking Safari. Led
by your expert guide, you'll paddle through the crystal-clear waters of
Akaroa's marine reserve, immersing yourself in a world of tranquility and
natural beauty. Keep your eyes peeled for the playful antics of Hector's
dolphins, the adorable waddle of white-flippered penguins, the sunbathing fur
seals, and the graceful flight of various seabirds. As you navigate the
coastline, your guide will regale you with captivating stories about the
region's rich Māori history and geological wonders, adding depth and meaning
to your adventure.





Charming French Village and Culinary Delights:


Upon returning to dry land, step back in time as you explore the quaint
streets of the 175-year-old French village of Akaroa. Delve into the local
museum to uncover its fascinating history, browse the art and craft shops for
unique treasures, and perhaps even indulge in a wine tasting at one of the
picturesque vineyards.


After working up an appetite on your kayaking adventure, treat yourself to a
sumptuous late lunch at an award-winning cafe. Savour the flavours of local
cuisine while reminiscing about the highlights of your day.





Additional Delights (Time Permitting) :


As we bid farewell to Akaroa, there's still more to discover. Time permitting,
we'll make stops at the Barry's Bay Cheese Factory, where you can sample
delicious artisanal cheeses, and the Little River Art Gallery, showcasing the
talents of local artists.


Join us for a day of exploration, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences in
the picturesque paradise of Akaroa. This kayaking adventure through history
and nature is sure to leave you with cherished memories that will last a
lifetime.
