Banks Peninsula Track

Your Journey on the Banks Peninsula Track

follows a stunningly diverse track of 35 km through pasture and forest as you explore the remote outer bays of Banks Peninsula. Its route includes a spectacular volcanic coastline, native bush, waterfalls and sandy beaches with two crossings of the crater rim high above Akaroa Harbour as you leave and return to Akaroa.

Self-guided walking or hiking

Our two self-guided options offer you many of the comforts of guided walks such as hot showers and small numbers, combined with the independence of the freedom walker. Both walks cover the same distance following the same track route and visit the same accommodations but at a different pace - you choose the way you want to walk!

Easy to organise & great value

Our availability guide and online booking make planning your trip as easy as possible. Your booking price includes car parking, bus to first hut, accommodation stays, all land access rights, and an informative guide booklet. (Also the seasonal penguin tour for four day walkers).

Extra options

Further options available include pack cartage, a great kayaking trip, sleeping bag hire, or the guaranteed privacy of a double room with linen provided.
