On this amazing trek to Packhorse Hut, we’ll explore all four of the historic rest houses once forming part of an impressive walking experience over the Port Hills. The hut lies on a ridge overlooking Lyttelton Harbour, offering incredible views of the Harbour and Banks Penninsula.
The picturesque drive and walking tour begin in Christchurch, trailing up the Port Hills via the historic Dyer’s Pass road then southward along Summit Road to Gebbies Pass.
The hike commences and concludes at Gebbie’s pass, and spans roughly 11km (6.8 Mi) typically requiring 3-4 hrs to and from the hut from Gebbie’s Pass, inclusive of a lunch break at Packhorse hut.
Returning, we go back to Gebbies Pass, then trail the scenic coastal road back to Christchurch.
This tour does not require a minimum attendance; an ideal option for individuals, couples, and small groups geared towards a private and exclusive tour.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
