2.Akaroa Shore Excursion: Akaroa Harbour and Sheep Farm Local Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · from $71Best value

Meet your guide at Akaroa Wharf for a 2.5-hour visit to Akaroa Harbour, Summit Road, Barry’s Bay Cheese, and Coombe Farm. Watch a working sheepdog round up a flock, see a shearing demonstration, and enjoy tea with scones. Groups are limited to 22, with port pickup and return included.

“We really enjoyed this excursion to the sheep farm. It was fascinating to watch Hugh's dog do his job. Hugh explained a lot about the industry, the sheep and the wool. We were invited back to his yard where his wife had hot tea and scones with clotted cream and jam waiting for us. I highly recommend this trip for all ages.”
