Why take this tour?

Your journey to Akaroa takes in the stunning scenery of the rugged Banks Peninsula coastline and farmlands. Stopovers include the award winning Barrys Bay Cheese factory at Duvauchelle, and the quaint Little River Café & Gallery. The the day's highlight: wander through herds of grazing alpacas, marveling at their exquisite fleece. Enjoy feeding the beautiful and mysterious alpacas whilst enjoying breath-taking views of Akaroa Harbour. Experience an interactive presentation by the people at Shamarra as you take the opportunity to handle and walk among these incredible animals. Afterwards, browse the Alpaca shop where an exclusive collection of luxurious dye free alpaca knitwear is available. Finish off the day with a wine tasting at the very special French Peak vineyard.

About operator:

Settle back in our luxury mini-coach and enjoy your day trip journey from Christchurch discovering the most amazing New Zealand locations. Be dazzled by ancient glaciers, towering mountains, high country mountain lakes & braided rivers. Or be delighted by sites from "Lord of the Rings" middle-earth before being transported back in time and enjoying a truly unique experience: a nostalgic, comfortable wagon ride pulled by some “gentle giants” (a team of Clydesdale horses) into the spectacular Aotearoa back-country highlands. Or be delighted by exploring the “real New Zealand”: experiencing an iconic high-country sheep station, or touring Canterbury farmlands on a trip to some really interesting rural properties – all set against the backdrop of the breath-taking scenery of the Southern Alps. From greener than green farmlands to encountering New Zealand's highest mountain Aoraki Mt Cook in the UNESCO World Heritage Te Wahipounamu National Park, Maossie has a tour for everyone!
