Akaroa is small town of around 700 residents located on the shores of a large natural inlet harbour, on the Banks Peninsular, just over 1½ hours drive (50m/80km) to the south-west of Christchurch.

 

The beautiful harbour is central to the town and home to a variety of sealife, including Hecters Dolphins, seals, penguins, as well as an abundance of different birdlife and wildfowl.  There are also a number of activities on the water, including wildlife cruises, snorkelling, fishing and swimming, including swimming with the resident dolphins.  On dry land the harbour's edge, and surrounding countryside offers plenty to do, with scenic walks, lovely beaches, bays and coves, cycling tours and a variety of shops to tempt you.

 

Dining is diverse and there are many little boutique cafes, bistros and restaurants to sample, and many have stunning views over the harbour.
