The rugged and hilly peninsula has wonderful walks in the centre and many beautiful and secluded beaches around the coast.

The main settlement of Akaroa is a real treat and is full of character. Claimed by the British at Green Point just days before the French colonists arrived in 1840, Akaroa was once a French whaling settlement and still has a very French atmosphere with French street names, cafés, restaurants, small wineries and a number of craft shops. The sheltered natural harbour is the ancient crater of the volcano and is great for sailing and fishing.

It is also home to a population of Hector’s dolphins, the smallest and rarest dolphin in the world, and offers you the opportunity to  watch and even swim  with these delightful animals
