ABOUT US
Founded in 2017 by the dynamic father-daughter duo Fraser Macandrew and Nicole Ellwood, Crater Rim Walks began as a small family-run business with a passion for sharing the stunning beauty of New Zealand's Banks Peninsula. Launching a tourism business just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was no easy task, but with resilience and determination, Crater Rim Walks has emerged stronger than ever.
Now boasting a dedicated team of 10 skilled guides and led by Nicole Ellwood, Crater Rim Walks is renowned for offering personalized and expert walking tours that reveal the breathtaking landscapes and rich history of the region. Our guides are not only experts in the natural beauty of the Crater Rim Walkway but are also storytellers who bring the area's vibrant culture and history to life.
​​At Crater Rim Walks, we provide visitors to Christchurch with unique, off-the-beaten-path adventures. Our guided walks are perfect for travelers who wish to experience the authentic charm of the Lyttelton Harbour and its surrounding trails. As a business created by travelers for travelers, we understand the importance of an enriching and immersive experience, and we are eager to share our love for this remarkable landscape with you.
