Akaroa tours

Very special experience, got a chance to have close contact with the penguins. recommended activity in Akaroa

The tour is so amazing!! We saw the landscape of the Akaroa and the went to the Flea Bay for kayaking. We saw the blue penguins and a lot of sea seals in the bay and finally the penguin nest up on the glass.

we booked the tour last minute as we are a bit hesitant that the farm is 1.5hrs away from christchurch town. but ended up booking and just decided to take their 11am tour. surprisingly, the alpacas dont have any foul smell and looks like they are well taken cared of. the activity is fun too, you will get the meet and touch the male alpacas first then they will let you feed the female and new borns.

Such a fun trip! it was a good, small group with a guide so it was so easy to ask questions and get a personalized tour. We drove around and stopped 4 or 5 times for pictures and learned the history of the area. Seeing the penguins up close and learning about the conservation efforts was amazing.

Luca was very friendly and passionate about sharing his knowledge and experiences about our space. We were lucky to see the aurora on the day of our visit. He patiently answered all our questions esp our enthusiastic son had too many questions. Very informative session, highly recommend him.

I made a reservation in advance and reported to the counter with my mobile phone voucher. During the pick-up process, a short video will be played, giving you a welcoming feeling and a sense of excitement that a fantasy world is about to come! The tour guide will lead you to visit the park. Be sure to follow along. Don't stay or wander around at will. Take your time to enjoy the scenery or take photos. If you miss it, you will never look back. The tour guide is all in English, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the introduction, you can still have a lot of fun! The tour guide will also help take photos! The last stop was the pub, where everyone could choose a free drink. I chose the only ginger ale without alcohol. It was a big cup, delicious and filling! I really wanted to sit by the stove and stay for an hour or two, but unfortunately it was only a few minutes (maybe half an hour, or even shorter, I kind of forgot). Free drinks and self-brewed coffee are available. When leaving the park, everyone received a shaped cup as a souvenir. ps: Before entering the park, the tour guide asked if there was anyone who didn’t know why they were standing here. I wanted to raise my hand because I had never even read the relevant movie books. When I originally arranged the itinerary, I even wanted to save some travel expenses. Skip this man-made attraction, but it’s a good thing! The natural scenery is beautiful, and the architectural furnishings and various objects are exquisitely made, as if they were made entirely from nature! Of course, we also take great care in maintaining it! Well worth a visit!

The stargazing program was very fun and interesting. The guide was nice and upbeat. We rode the bus to a stargazing place, and when we looked up, the sky was full of stars. It was very beautiful.

Worth the journey to have a look at the glow worms in pitch black darkness. The boat ride is about 45 mins each way. The walk into the cave wasn't that far as highlighted. The guides were excellent and friendly, providing entertaining explanations on the cave and the glow worms.
