Akaroa, New Zealand
Recorded January 14, 2007.
Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name—the name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for Long Harbour. Akaroa is 82 kilometres by road from Christchurch, and is the terminus of State Highway 75. The permanent population was 576. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village. Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour.
The video begins on a hill full of sheep as I look down on Akaroa Harbour. The rest of the video is of my Black Cat Wildlife Cruise. Here we cruise around an extinct volcanic crater and experience majestic scenery and stunning wildlife including the rare, native dolphin - the Hector's Dolphin as well as penguins and other sea birds. We also see giant volcanic sea cliffs.

Akaroa Hospital underwent large amounts of community fundraising, and Akaroa Dolphins was at the forefront of this support.
Akaroa Dolphins became a Silver Sponsor for the Akaroa Hospital. Since it's sponsorship, they have donated around $30,000 back to the community.

-- About this video –
After an epic week of doing many wildlife and water activities in Akaroa (just see our Akaroa playlist - ) we are taking the time to explore Akaroa town itself, which is dubbed the French capital of New Zealand.
Our exploration of Akaroa brings us to the Giant’s House in Akaroa – a garden full of mosaic sculptures and water features. It’s the most colourful New Zealand garden you’ll ever see!
After the Akaroa Giants House we venture to the Akaroa Lighthouse. It’s a lighthouse that unusually sits in the middle of the harbour rather than at the end of it.
So what do you think of the New Zealand town of Akaroa? Would you add Akaroa to your New Zealand itinerary? LUK in the comments!
