Charming French village with Kiwi Hospitality👌🏻😍 - We had a lovely day trip to Akaroa 🌊 Tom was very informative, approachable & professional guide with a great driving expertise. Akaroa was such a beautiful & lovely place. Its topography was absolutely impressive with a volcano formation. Had a short walk along the harbour. Fish & chips were mean! Thanks Kiwi Adventures tours for bringing us here! Highly recommended.

The Road Less Taken to Akaroa ♥️ - We had a fantastic tour from Christchurch to Akaroa, taking the jaw-dropping scenic route along the ridge and off the beaten path. We stopped in Lyttelton for lunch and to poke around the shops. Our tour guide Dave fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the area, and made the day a fun and memorable one.
