Two-Hour Akaroa Nature Cruise - Seven Options Available

About Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise:

The historic French village of Akaroa and its spectacular harbour is just 90 minutes' drive from Christchurch. Here you can cruise around an extinct volcanic crater and witness majestic scenery and stunning wildlife, including New Zealand's own Hector's dolphin, which is one of the rarest in the world. There are also seals and penguins to keep an eye out for. Visit the volcanic Cathedral Cave, see relics from the area's past, and even take a look at a salmon farm. As well as Hector's dolphins, you'll also see a wide variety of coastal marine bird life on this fantastic cruise aboard a very well-appointed and modern Black Cat catamaran.
