On this action-packed tour, travel to Banks Peninsula, visit a cheese factory, enjoy a scenic cruise in the Akaroa Harbor and swim with the Hector's dolphins.
The historic French village of Akaroa in the Banks Peninsula is a 90-minutes drive from Christchurch. Banks Peninsula the result of violent eruptions from three ancient volcanoes. Akaroa is the site of the only attempted settlement by the French in New Zealand. Their influence is still evident in this vibrant tourist town - look for French street names, quaint historical buildings and inspired cuisine. Here you can cruise around an extinct volcanic crater and see the majestic scenery and stunning wildlife of New Zealand. Swim with the worlds smallest, rarest and friendliest dolphins, the Hector's dolphin, found only in Akaroa Harbour.
