Electric e-bike up Akaroa’s crater and sea kayaking in a protected marine reserve, small groups, wildlife chances, $164 per person.
“Operator was great and accommodating. We saw multiple marine life and had nice weather. I did a self guided ride as there was not a group to go with the day I wanted to. They told me the ride would be alot of uphill and was it ever! Even hills on the way back when you think you're done! I also hit up the akoroa winery on my ride and staff were very friendly so stick a $10 in your pocket and make a stop!”
Electric bike to Akaroa Crater summit and sea kayak in the marine reserve, small group, 5.5 hours, from $176.86.
“Awesome experience. We started with the sea kayak (which was invigorating given the wind) and then did the lava loop with Greville. The bikes make the ascent manageable and Greville's knowledge of the area and history is great. The descent was a great adrenaline rush. Highly recommended for stress relief”
