We were not aware that this was just an hour and a half coach trip to Christ Church and pickup and return 3 hours later. Nothing of Akaroa which we wished we had stayed in.

Basic transfer to Christchurch. Perfect for independant travellers.

This was a great way to get to Christchurch! We did not have an excursion planned from our cruise ship but wanted to explore Christchurch on our own, so we just needed a shuttle to get us there and back. This was priced reasonably and the times were good, so we booked it. It far exceeded our expectations of a ride into town and back. Our driver was very informative along the drive and the views were beautiful! On the way back she stopped the bus and let us all get out to take pictures at a one particularity beautiful spot. This was an exceptional ride and we enjoyed every minute of it.
