New Zealand Sheep Farm Experience in AKAROA (Christchurch)l Cruise Vlog l Ep. 12
I LOVE sheep (for some reason) so a bucket list excursion of mine was to visit a sheep farm while in New Zealand. So, off I went to visit sheep in Akaroa! I booked this tour through Norwegian Cruise Line though most cruise lines offer this tour. It is called: TRADITIONAL AKAROA FARM EXPERIENCE and here is the description from NCL's website:
“Experience life on a traditional New Zealand sheep farm, where six generations of the Johns family have their 900-acre property. A short ride brings you Paua Bay Farm, nestled among extensive gardens. The charming farmhouse is the centerpiece of this expansive working farm. As many as 4,500 sheep, cattle and deer roam the rural acreage.
You'll be greeted by Murray Johns, who will share stories of the family's history and about farming in New Zealand. Then, the eager sheep dogs take center stage and demonstrate their talents for herding sheep, while following their master's commands. If you'd like, you can participate in separating the sheep, before moving to the woolshed, where Murray will elaborate on the life of a sheep shearer.
In addition to watching farming activities, you'll also have time to stroll the garden of native plants and relax over tea and homemade scones.”

Cruise Ship Tendering to AKAROA (Christchurch) l New Zealand Cruise Vlog l Ep. 11
It's a new day which means we are in Akaroa, New Zealand. (The gateway to Christchurch). This port is so picturesque and charming. This is a port that I would say you do not have to worry about booking an excursion in-there is a good amount of things to do on your own.
The excursion I did was booked through Norwegian Cruise Line though most cruise lines offer it. It is called: TRADITIONAL AKAROA FARM EXPERIENCE and here is the description from NCL's website:
“Experience life on a traditional New Zealand sheep farm, where six generations of the Johns family have their 900-acre property. A short ride brings you Paua Bay Farm, nestled among extensive gardens. The charming farmhouse is the centerpiece of this expansive working farm. As many as 4,500 sheep, cattle and deer roam the rural acreage.
You'll be greeted by Murray Johns, who will share stories of the family's history and about farming in New Zealand. Then, the eager sheep dogs take center stage and demonstrate their talents for herding sheep, while following their master's commands. If you'd like, you can participate in separating the sheep, before moving to the woolshed, where Murray will elaborate on the life of a sheep shearer.
In addition to watching farming activities, you'll also have time to stroll the garden of native plants and relax over tea and homemade scones.”
As always, make sure to watch in HD for the best video quality! Hope you enjoy! :)

Akaroa - New Zealand, Part 1
Akaroa (Source: Wikipedia)
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 84 km by road from Christchurch and is the terminus of State Highway 75. In the 2006 New Zealand census of population and dwellings, the permanent population was 567, a decrease of 7 since 2001. The village has a high (29.6%) ratio of residents aged over 65.
Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village and in summer the temporary population can reach 15,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour, and 'swim with the dolphins' boat tours are a major tourist attraction.
Akaroa Harbour (Source: Wikipedia)
Akaroa Harbour is part of Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand. It enters from the southern coast of the peninsula heading in a predominantly northerly direction. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for Long Harbour. Ōnawe Peninsula is at the head of the harbour, the former site of a Māori pā.
The towns or settlements of Akaroa, Duvauchelle, Barrys Bay, French Farm and Wainui lie on the shoreline of the harbour. Cruise ships occasionally enter the harbour with the passengers visiting Akaroa.
As of 2011the seven sites that are sampled in the harbour six are graded as good and one as fair in terms of recreational use. Rainfall affects the grading.
The 475-hectare Akaroa Marine Reserve was given approval in 2013 after a 17 year campaign to get it established.

-- About this video --
We’re heading to Akaroa – Christchurch’s French and wildlife-filled town. When we (eventually) arrive in Akaroa this evening we join Pohatu Penguins for one of their evening penguin tours in Akaroa. If you want to know where to see penguins in Akaroa then watch this video!
The Akaroa penguin tour begins with a scenic drive toward Flea Bay, stopping at some sensation viewpoints along the way. When we arrive at the Akaroa penguin colony, we first feed a crazy amount of sheep, before watching a blue penguin chick feeding as part of their rehabilitation. From there, we check penguin nesting boxes and watch penguins return from sea along the cliffs of Flea Bay.
So what do you think of this penguin spotting in Akaroa? Would you add Pohatu Penguins to your Akaroa travel itinerary? LUK in the comments!
