Banks Peninsula Views, Coastal Trails and Local History
This guided Crater Rim Walk traces part of an ancient volcanic crater, with sweeping views across Pegasus Bay, the Pacific Ocean and the Southern Alps on clear days. The route includes native bush, open ridgelines and dramatic coastal scenery close to Christchurch.
