Akaroa Cruise Reviews

A charming small town with French heritage. Lovely shops. Close to Christchurch ...

Went on a driving tour that took us up to the Duvauchelle area and the Hilltop Hotel. Amazing views. ...

disappointing fake "French" town - changing street names does not make it French! ... but coffee was good, and cheap! ...

Nothing to see in Christchurch except lots of construction still going on since the earthquake in 2011! Save your $$$. ...

Lovely little tourist town nestled around a bay. Strolled along the bay and browsed through the shops. ...

We found this guy when we came ashore, pure luck. We drove right around Akaroa. It was great & inexpensive. ...

A long journey in the tender, 25-40 minutes. Not much in Akaroa, population 600. We caught the bus to Christchurch and well worth the 90 minute journey. We booked the bus independently so we had no priority with Royal Caribbean to get onto the tender; So we got up super early to get on the first tender. ...

An amazing private boat trip with Tony.. Dolphins, Penguins, Caves! ...

Another nice little town with plenty to see. We were going to take a motor bike tour but they were booked out. Nice just to walk around. ...

This is a lovely seaside town with a touch of French je ne sais quoi. Plenty of places to eat, lots of little shops selling unusual souvenirs and an exceptional jewellery shop. If you have time, visit St Peters Anglican Church - it is really beautiful and a testament to its builders that it survived the earthquake. Majestic Princess is so big that this is a tender port but that in no way ...
