Volcano Rim Scenic Drive

Enjoy the epic panoramic views of the harbour below you. Rather than taking the sign post to Akaroa, turn off onto the Tourist Drive where you can travel along the crater of a massive (but extinct!) volcano! You can stop off at Barrys Bay Cheese, vineyards and farm shops to stock up on supplies on your way home or to your next Banks Peninsula adventure. Upon reaching the hilltop, take a moment to experience the stunning panoramic view of Akaroa harbor and surrounding peninsula.
