Akaroa Private Day Tour from Christchurch

Akaroa –
the most French town in Aotearoa New Zealand! Akaroa will captivate you from
the moment you enter this charming town from the magnificent harbor, and it’s
love for good food, you will want to discover all that this town has to offer.

Akaroa is nestled
in the sheltered side of Akaroa Harbor, Banks Peninsula, and is the only French
settlement in New Zealand. Discovered by French whaler Captain Langlois, he
decided that it would be a perfect location for a town to service the whaling
ships. After acquiring the land, he returned to France to gather German and
French families to form a colony. After returning and seeing that the Treaty of
Waitangi had been signed, and the country now a sovereign country, the French
settlers decided to stay, and Akaroa’s French Street names and colonial houses
are continuing the legacy of how Akaroa came to be.

On this private tour we can customise the day to suit your needs. You
will be driven in comfort in our modern, comfortable minibuses packed with
extras, just to make your journey that bit easier. Led by our fun and knowledgeable
and passionate tour guides, this journey will come to life in a new way for
