What To Expect
Christchurch
We start by leaving Ōtautahi Christchurch, also known as New Zealand's Garden City. As we head towards Banks Peninsula, our knowledgeable guide will point out some of the central city highlights. For cruise ship guests, this can be booked as a shore excursion from Norwich Quay.
Little River
Before continuing over the hill, you will be greeted by the hidden gem that is Little River. Nestled deep amongst streams, springs, and farms, it is at this delightful small town that you will have the opportunity to stretch your legs and grab a coffee for the day ahead. This is just a short stop, but one that will certainly be memorable with its popular store, cafe, and gallery. Purchases are at guests own expense.

5.00Our driver/guide, Clive, was very knowledgeable and friendly about the area pointed out numerous sights and the explained the history along the way. He stopped at various viewpoints for us to take photos and a cafe in Little River for coffees on the way to Akaroa. The vistas were amazing. Lunch was included-we ate at Bully Hayes/before we got on the Dolphin and Harbour Nature 2-hour cruise. Captain Stew and his crew gave us a wonderful tour of the area out to the ocean entrance to the harbour. We saw dolphins, some of the rare little penguins, fur seals, birds and salmon farming. Clive was on the dock to take us back to Christchurch on the high Mountain View road. We highly recommend this tour, Clive and Cheeky Kea tours. Excellent way to spend 8 hours!
