What you can expect

Discover the award-winning Wildside of Banks Peninsula and its unique fauna and flora on this 24-hour tour.

Start your adventure in a four-weel drive mini-bus from Akaroa and travel over the crater rim of the ancient Akaroa volcano to the Akaroa Head Lighthouse. Marvel at the scenic reserve that stands on high cliffs and take in the views of the endless Pacific ocean.

Enjoy a self-guided bush walk through Tutakakahikura scenic reserve, an ancient forest with 400 years old native trees to finally arrive at Pohatu marine reserve where you will spend the night.

Settle down and use the time to relax. Enjoy safe swimming beaches before your evening penguin tour in season.
Note that the evening tour will not be run from March to early/mid-April as the colony is at sea fattening up after their molt. We may have some late penguin molting that you might be able to see through the conservation work.

The following day you can go on an additional adventure if you would like. Join the sea-kayaking safari and discover the wildlife of the Pohatu marine reserve. See New Zealand fur seals, many species of sea-birds, and the frequent visit of Hector's dolphins.

The tour runs from midday to midday but specific departure times can be arranged.
