A personal guided walking tour with some luxury in mind. Travel by private vehicle with your own guide, and take the day at your own pace. Both morning and afternoon walks are available, see the highlights and be back in Christchurch in time for lunch or dinner.  This will no doubt be a trip highlight!

 

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• Your own personal guide (suitable for 1-6 people)

• Transport from the CBD in a luxury SUV (30mins)

• Return hotel transfers

• Hot drink at a local cafe

• Light morning tea

• Water bottle to keep

• Walking sticks and a day bag

​

ITINERARY:

You will be picked up from your accommodation by your guide in a private SUV, and entertained with the history of Christchurch on the 30-minute drive to Sumner/Lyttelton where your walk will commence.  Hot drinks are picked up on the way to enjoy in the car before setting off along the coastal track. Visit the Crater Rim surrounding the caldera of the ancient volcano. Visit the newly restored WWII coastal defense battery, Scotts Hutt, and take in amazing views of the rugged Pacific coastline stretching across Pegasus Bay to the often snow-covered Southern Alps, Lyttelton harbour and wide expanses of the Pacific Ocean.  Total walking time is approximately 2.5 hours, before returning to Christchurch City.

 

WHAT TO WEAR/BRING:

• Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots (sneakers are fine but they must have good traction on them as the path can be slippery, especially after rain)

• Comfortable clothes depending on the season (shorts/leggings and a t-shirt)

• A warm layer of clothing and a jacket

• Sunblock and a sun hat

• Camera/phone
