***** #1 THING TO DO IN AKAROA This is a great way to see the outer peninsula from the safety of a van being driven by Jeff the local postie who knows all the roads, corners, bridges, intersections and people along the way. Jeff gave us a commentary along the way about the history and character of each bay we went into. Highly recommended. We had a week in Akaroa and this trip was easily the best activity we did.Mooch
