Scenic Wildlife Cruises
Join us on our daily 2-hour adventures to explore the amazing scenery and wildlife of Banks Peninsula’s coast.
We are running 2 trips a day, departing from Akaroa's main wharf, with a maximum of 8 passengers - at 9:30am... to make the most of photo-opportunities in the early-morning light, often the calmest conditions of the day and an uncrowded harbour - and at 12:00 midday... to connect with shuttle services for a day-trip from Christchurch.
