A Scenic Farm and Village Escape from Christchurch

Travel from Christchurch through the Banks Peninsula’s rolling hills and coastal scenery on a private guided journey to Akaroa. The drive reveals breathtaking vistas of Akaroa Harbour, distant mountains, and rural landscapes dotted with hidden bays. Comfort and flexibility are at the heart of this tour, allowing plenty of time for photo stops and relaxed exploration.

At Shamarra Alpacas, meet a friendly herd in a peaceful farm setting overlooking the harbour. Feed and photograph the alpacas while learning about their award-winning fleece and sustainable farming practices. Afterward, enjoy a leisurely visit to Akaroa’s historic French village, with its boutique shops, local cuisine, and relaxed seaside charm.
