Akaroa tours

We had a great time at Shamarra alpacas! The guide and feeding experience was super well organised and fun. Highly recommended :) Just a note that the drive up to the farm is steep and windy. Most all cars will get up there; just take your time :)

A nice guided tour to the natural homes of the little penguins. It depends on luck so not always able to see penguins, as it’s more of an eco-informative journey. We did see some penguin chicks in their houses, an adult, and many seals. May get cold so bring warm clothing and walking shoes.

Luca was very friendly and passionate about sharing his knowledge and experiences about our space. We were lucky to see the aurora on the day of our visit. He patiently answered all our questions esp our enthusiastic son had too many questions. Very informative session, highly recommend him.

The entire tour is narrated in English and takes you to the mountains to see the beautiful scenery. Finally, we arrived at the private beach ranch to see the penguins🐧, and get up close and personal with the lambs for photos📷

The activities are very fulfilling and the penguins and seals are so cute! The strait is beautiful~ It’s worth going again~ People without a car can take the Akaroa one-day bus, which is only available for one day (you can buy it on the official bus website or give cash to the driver). We only took the bus when our friends took us on the way back🚌

This is absolutely NZ Must-do!! Very nice farm (and cold🥶) so please wear warm clothings. Staffs are amazingly great and knowledgeable with everything and anything about alpacas. They also provide hot tea and cookies which i think on of the best cookies ive ever tasted!

The guide is very informative, shared a lot of his experiences on light pollution and also how to see the moon and Saturn

Canoeing provides participants with an excellent opportunity to connect with nature. Paddling on a canoe, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, azure oceans or pleasant rivers. This kind of close contact with nature makes people feel peaceful, relaxed and comfortable, while also appreciating the beauty of the natural environment.
