Akaroa Video Guide

We've captured a series of 360 Virtual Tours and a video to give you an even better view of Akaroa. This french influenced town, nestled in the middle of a volcanic crater, overlooks a beautiful harbour. Dotted with sail boats, there are plenty of boat tour operators that will take you out onto Canterbury Bight and let you observe the rich marine wildlife.

You can also discover more about this region with our Akaroa Regional Guide.
