Overview

Escape the crowds and enjoy an incredible day in the great outdoors, on this stunning guided Crater Rim Walk. Lyttelton harbour is nestled inside an extinct volcano crater. You will be met at Lyttleton Port by your guide, and transported in a 12-seater van to Sumner Beach for hot drinks at a cafe overlooking the ocean. Godley Head Loop Track is undoubtedly one of the best hikes in Christchurch, an undulating track with breathtaking coastal views, historic WW2 landmarks, and quaint little beaches. The distance is 8 km / 5 miles, which takes around 3 hours to walk, with lots of time to stop and enjoy the scenery. Morning tea is served at Godley Head, followed by a picnic lunch at Boulder Bay, a secluded beach, looking out over Pegasus Bay, and the majestic Southern Alps beyond. Seals, dolphins, and birds are often spotted. After the walk, your guide will return you to Lyttleton Port, or if time allows you will also have the option of being dropped into Christchurch City to explore.

Spectacular views. Amazing experience.

Published on Feb, 2025

This was an absolutely incredible excursion! It started with a visit to a lovely coffee spot on the beach. The hike was spectacular. The guides could not have been better. The provided lunch was excellent. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Do not miss this excursion if you visit Christchurch.

One of the best tour companies I’ve ever experienced

Crater Rim Extraordinaire

Published on Feb, 2025

We had an amazing experience with spectacular views on our hike! We have been cruising New Zealand with multiple excursions but this was the best! Our guides, Nicole and Helen, were extremely thoughtful and kind. Thank you for our treasured memories! J&N

Well Worth the Effort

Published on Feb, 2025

What a great day! So beautiful. Flick our guide was wonderful . Nicole’s communication about the tour excellent. The lunch was beyond yummy too!

Beautiful hike with a great guide

Published on Feb, 2025

This tour gets you into gorgeous settings with beautiful views from a moderate hike. The lovely café stop at the beginning was also a wonderful touch. Flick guided our small group with humor, great information, and an ability to let everyone go around their own pace. Lunch was also delicious and accommodated those of us with food allergies. Highly recommend!!
