A bit of info about the Banks Peninsula from ChristchurchNZ:
A journey around this beautiful peninsula will reward you with picturesque vistas at every turn, a thriving artisan culture and a marine environment teaming with wildlife. Come and immerse yourself in the alluring French character of Akaroa township – a seaside retreat just 90 minutes from Christchurch.
Akaroa simply oozes charm! Nods to its history as a French settlement are everywhere, with pretty French-named streets, lined with historic cottages cloaked in roses. While away the hours browsing boutique shops and craft galleries, and stop for a pick-me-up of fine local food and wine at a café or restaurant overlooking the shimmering waters of Akaroa Harbour. Relaxation doesn’t get much better than this!

Kayak Akaroa - Sea Kayak
Akaroa is one of the best locations to sea kayak in New Zealand, with neon blue and green water and an untouched marine reserve This is often a highlight of many NZ travel itineraries. Akaroa is made of up two marine reserves and two land reserves. Endangered Wild life has made the harbour their home and it is now a sanctuary which mammals bring their young to the safety of our sheltered waters. Only 80 minutes from Christchurch, based in the stunning french sea side town of Akaroa, we offer a unique kiwi experience which is a ‘Must Do’ for visitors to the area. We provide 5 star kayaking tours that are environmentally sensitive and with small group numbers visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas. As a form of transport a kayak has minimal disturbance to wild life in their natural habitat, they are not intimidated by a kayak as there is no engines or noise which can lead to some unbelievable unexpected close encounters. Our tours are Serene, Special, Spectacular and Safe! Our local knowledgeable guides are the best in the business and will go above and beyond to ensure your experience will be truly unforgettable and stay in your hearts for years to come. We are the only guided kayak tour operator in the harbour bordering Akaroa township which gives our guests the convenience to explore the village before and after the sea kayaking safari.Our sea kayaking safari includes a relaxing and inspiring paddle around our bays and inlets, often crossing paths with wild life, checking out caves, taking in the breath taking views and stopping for a break at a remote beach where you can relax or swim, enjoy refreshments and stretch your legs! During this time you will have detailed commentary from our nature guides who are extremely knowledgeable and will answer any questions you may have along the way.
