The Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise:
Depart the charming Historic French township of Akaroa, just 90 minutes from Christchurch, aboard the large modern catamaran, Black Cat, into the sweeping scenic splendour of Akaroa Harbour. Enjoy your skipper's fascinating commentary as you discover playful, rare New Zealand Hector's dolphins, fur seals, penguins and many other kinds of sea birds. Visit the startling volcanic formation of Cathedral Cave, and see everything from relics of the area's Maori and colonial past to a modern working salmon farm of today. Cruises depart daily from the Main Wharf.
What to Bring:
We suggest you wear warm clothing. Even on warm days, there may be a cool sea breeze blowing. Sun screen and a hat is a must even if its cloudy. Bring your camera - there are incredible views.
