Akaroa Tank Tops

Akaroa sailing, South Island, New Zealand

An hours drive from Christchurch, the French village of Akaroa is nestled in the beautiful Banks Peninsula. South Island, NZ

Beautiful Akaroa Harbour is part of Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. The harbor enters from the southern coast of the peninsula, where you can sail to see dolphins up close. First settled by the French, their flavour is obvious in all aspects of the village.

The sun sets over the harbour at Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula. I seem to have been very lucky with sunsets there -- and the gorgeous setting definitely doesn't hurt either!

A bird's eye view of the Banks Peninsula bathed in golden afternoon light from the road over to Flea Bay. What a way to end an amazing day of wildlife watching on the peninsula!

Traveling from Christchurch to Akaroa, you will pass by idyllic Barry's Bay; an area known for walking, cheese, and vineyards.

I spent pretty much my entire first trip to Akaroa being astounded by the beauty. I spent my entire day just wandering the shoreline, and after dinner I snuck out of a game of Scrabble at my hostel to be greeted by this beauty. Taken in 2008 using my Panasonic FZ18.
