You have an opportunity to wander around the charming 150-year-old French harbour side village of Akaroa with its museum of settler’s history, art and craft shops and studios.
Board your Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise. Experience majestic scenery and stunning wildlife daily on a Black Cat Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise. You’ll see the rare, native dolphin – the Hector’s or New Zealand Dolphin. There’s also the chance to spot the world’s smallest penguin, the White Flippered Little Blue Penguin, Fur Seals and other sea birds. Other cruise highlights are some majestic volcanic cliffs (including the impressive Cathedral Cave) and signs of Akaroa’s fascinating past including early Maori, French and British settlements. After the cruise enjoy a 2-course lunch at Bully Hayes Restaurant and Bar followed by some free time to explore this wonderful township.
