The Road Less Taken to Akaroa ♥️ - We had a fantastic tour from Christchurch to Akaroa, taking the jaw-dropping scenic route along the ridge and off the beaten path. We stopped in Lyttelton for lunch and to poke around the shops. Our tour guide Dave fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the area, and made the day a fun and memorable one.
