Truly mesmerizing.<br>I visited Akaroa in mid-winter, and the landscape and peninsula were stunning even in the winter. The charming streets and shops give off a lovely French vibe. A must visit destination! |

A really lovely waterfront town with a very french feel. Whether tou want the beach, a stroll along the waterfront, or like looking at the architecture of the buildings and exploring the history of the area, this little place has it all. |

Akaroa Harbour. Located approximately 1.5 hours' drive (86 kms) from Christchurch, Akaroa is a beautiful harbour-side town. The most French town in New Zealand, Akaroa will have you entranced with its historic buildings, magnificent harbour and passion for fine food. An easy drive south-east of Christchurch, Banks Peninsula. Lovely place with cafes and restaurants on the waterfront. |

I'm lucky enough to live in this beautiful harbour so of course I'm going to give 5 stars... Spectacular views, really makes for some fantastic photos... Love to get fish & chips & eat them on the grassy green memorial gardens. A well kept little town, but like all small towns they too come with their share of problems, Eg 'Small town syndrome' as I now have named it, meaning;<br>'When other people can't help but talk about other people.' Often breaching confidentiality when it comes to certain businesses... It's a real shame, unpleasant & very inappropriate... Sadly we are stuck & very limited for choice unless would like to drive you Chch so no other choice but to endure these people... #SmallMindsTalkAboutOtherPeople... |

One of the best places to visit in New Zealand. If you are marine life lover really good place to visit. Place is a harbour and have tour facility to travel through south part. They have package options for swimming with dolphins as well as observing the marine life through cruise. You can watch dolphins, seals, penguins.<br>The harbour also have quite good options for foodies. You can see old houses of French colony. Also some Maori people temples and community centers.<br>Overall really good place to visit. |

Akaroa and the Banks Peninsula is a must-see in New Zealand. The water is chilly, but makes for nice beaches in places such as Corsair Bay, or Akaroa's beaches. The bays making up the Banks Peninsula are a great sight to see seals and penguins. |

Akaroa Harber is famous for its nature cruise. There are two types of cruise available one is Swim with Dolphins and another one is Nature Cruise. It cost around $80. Worth to spend once. |

Absolutely stunning views when driving here. Beautiful cafes, shops & plenty of activities to do. Their fish & chips, and handcrafted fudge are to die for. Plenty of souvenirs available. Beautiful place. Locals are very friendly too. Highly recommend you take the time to visit. I can see why cruise ships go there! |

Well worth the drive, road in was very windy. You need to allow some time to enjoy the atmosphere, early morning over the water was magical. We went for a late night stroll down the wharf and thoroughly enjoyed the lights over the water. |

Akaroa harbour is the site of a ngai tahu pa. it was settled early by Europeans ,namely the French. It has a heart warming charm and the people are very friendly. prices are on the steep side but the service is excellent 👌 |

This place simply superb. Little city with clean roads. Plants with houses and cafes. Adventures tours like swim with dolphin or diving. One if best is enjoy fish and chips at the wharf while looking at seagal. Best thing was watching sting rays for long sometimes many together. Weather warm a d nice with lively souvenirs must have. |

Beautiful place to visit, especially on a cruise ship. All the shop - keepers were so helpful and obliging. They worked very hard to assist all the passengers on the ship, that came to their stores. |

Always a great place to be no matter the weather, ( although sunny and warm is best). Nice drive over apart from the new slow speed limit, fantastic views from the hill top parts of the road. Lots of lovely wee places to eat and stores to explore. |

A huge Harbour created from what must of been a huge volcanic explosion. Originally settled by the French you will see their legacy in the street names . The town itself is very easily walked around with lots of interesting shops and cafes. We tendered from our ship to the Wharf and there were literally dozens of tour operators offering everything from Dolphin watching to trips to Christchurch, Working farms and wineries . |

Beautiful and charming harbour and town. The Akaroa Dolphins tour around the harbour was wonderful. Saw lots of penguins, birds, and dolphins. Also, highly recommend The Giant's House with its beautiful mosaics in a garden setting. |

This was one of many stops on my cruise tour of New Zealand. It was a great stop. Got off the cruise ship and once ashore, the locals were absolutely fantastic. Nice, friendly and welcoming! I ended up taking a walk over to the local museum and a cafe. The museum was good and had a great layout. I then found myself at the House of Giants which was a fantastic place to visit.<br>Overall, I really enjoyed my brief stay in Akaroa and I find myself wanting to go back to New Zealand for another visit to really take in all there is to see and do in this fantastic country. |

Beautiful little town for a day trip. But not recommended if you enjoy social distancing or “fast food”. The town is described as French inspired but I didn’t get that vibe from the place or the people. The boat trips are awesome though as are their conservation efforts. Overall a bit overrated. |

So stelle ich mir einen Natur belassenen Hafen vor. Traumhaft. Super Strandpromenade zum flanieren. Nette kleine Geschäfte, Bars, Restaurants und Plätze laden zum verweilen ein. Ein gut geschützter Strand zum Entspannen und Baden. Zauberhafte renovierte Häuser ringsum den Hafen. Nehmt euch viel Zeit und schlendert durch die Straßen. Es lohnt sich. |

Baía próxima a Christchurch com um pequeno porto, onde é possível fazer passeios de barco na baía para ver as montanhas e golfinhos. Existem empresas que oferecem aos turistas passeios onde os mesmos nadam com golfinhos. A cidade onde fica o porto tem restaurantes, cafés, lojas e comércios voltados para os turistas. |
