Our driver/guide was Jude who was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She answered our many questions and entertain us throughout the whole tour. would highly recommend the tour company and especially Jude it was a memorable day thank you for making us feel so comfortable.

I’m so glad I ended up booking this tour! I got lucky, as it only ended up being two of us on the trip, both solo travellers who were looking to spend the day out of Christchurch. Our guide, Alan, was fantastic. He knew so much about the local area, was happy to give us information about more things we could do while in town, took the tome to get to know us, and made sure we were never bored. I had a few emails from the booking team as well (as there was some concern about numbers and what day we would actually be able to go) and they were also extremely friendly. The trip itself was beautiful, Alan gave us time to take pictures and visit viewpoints of the area, and there was plenty of time to explore Akaroa before the cruise as well as get a bite to eat. The team for the cruise were also excellent. Even if we had seen no wildlife, the scenery and the commentary would have been worth it, but we did also see a penguin, a seal, and quite a few dolphins. It was truly just a wonderful day, and seemed to go by so quickly. There were so many options for pickup and drop off, so even though my hostel was not on the list of locations, the spot were I met the van ended up only being about a 2 minute walk away. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who is looking to do some exploring but doesn’t necessarily need anything too intense. It was calm enough that we could go at our own pace, but there was also always enough to do!

This tour is about Akaroa, getting there through beautiful mountains and valleys, the township itself so quaint and tranquil, the lunch of your choosing, the dolphin cruise, the cheese factory, and return. This tour is a stunning countryside, mountain, seaside and ocean experience (whether the dolphins are found, or not). Jude was a wonderful and kind guide for the day. She was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to accommodate special requests! I can’t wait to return in the summer. We were so lucky to have been gifted a bright, sunny day in mid-winter and I returned home with loads of beautiful photos of the Canterbury hills, harborside views, and the spectacular scenic ocean cliffs and rocks on the cruise. Cathedral Cove was a beautiful place to see-watercolor was amazing. This was a fantastic introduction to the Banks Peninsula, its terrain, and the picturesque, quaint French town of Akaroa.

We did a day tour to Akaroa from Christchurch on a relatively cold winter (June) day. Pick up was spot on time, and we were only four on the tour, as it was (very) low season. The van was spacious and comfortable, the driver provided interesting explanations during the 90 minute drive to Akaroa. Akaroa itself is an utterly charming little village, with most street names in French as it was settled by French in the 1830s-1840s. Lunch in a local restaurant was fine (the salmon steak of very giid quality), The 2 hour dolphin cruise was also excellent (even though my daughter has mild seasickness). Drive back and return to Christchiurch bery much on time as well. Recommended.

Akaroa is a beautiful setting. Enjoyed our trip. Andrew was very polite, courteous professional knowledgeable and informative and a very safe driver.

Andrew was amazing and gave us a great day out, the cruise was also amazing I would recommend this tour

I had a wonderful time on this tour! It was a very small tour group given it’s the off season, but we had a great time in Akaroa! The town is quaint and quite pretty - lunch was good, too. The cruise was wonderful - we saw seals and a few of the dolphins! It was so cool! We had a really great time and lucked out with the weather.

Jude was an absolute delight. She is the best guide ever! The whole journey, routes and commentary was so entertaining. Had one of the best days in a long time ❤️🫶🏼

Fabulous day out. Started with a stop at the cheese factory, where I bought a lot of cheese. It was then onto Akaroa. A beautiful little town. The shops are lovely and everyone was very welcoming. The lunch was great, so much food. We were very lucky on the cruise to see a pod of Hectors Dolphins. It was a a fantastic day out.
