30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜
-- 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!

Akaroa Hiking Adventures
New Zealand is absolutely stunning! Especially, Akaroa. Such lush, green country filled with so much beauty I almost wanted to cry. The air is so fresh, skies so blue, and the sound of nature so pure. Enjoy watching this hike up Purple Peak trail to Stony Bay Peak. It was such a beautiful day!Radiance of the Seas || Dancer

A day at Akaroa NZ
Taken last Oct. 04, 2019First time to visit Akaroa, a day is not enough to explore and experience what the place can offer. We had Lunch at La Thai Restaurant.. the food is not bad neither too good ????♀️. We went for a cruise for 2hrs to see some of the sea animals. Had a short walk from town center to Akaroa Lighthouse. And before we hit the road we ate at Waffle haus! Thank God we found this place! the waffle is so nice with unlimited coffee on the side.. what else i can ask for??!????☕???? It was a great adventure, hoping we can come back and experience what we have missed at Akaroa.????
