The locals will tell you that no trip to the Christchurch area can be complete without a visit to Akaroa, the jewel in Banks Peninsula&rsquo;s crown. The helicopter flight from Christchurch follows the spectacular rugged coastline until you head inland to Akaroa harbour and experience a sight that will take your breath away. Lush forests and grassland run down the hillsides to the azure water of the endless bays, fed by the Pacific Ocean itself.

&nbsp;

It takes just 15 minutes to fly to Akaroa as opposed to one and a half hours by road, so you won&rsquo;t waste a second getting to this quaint seaside village. Along the way,&nbsp;your pilot will inform and entertain with commentary,&nbsp;and point out areas of interest.

&nbsp;

Early French settlers gave Akaroa its heritage and distinct French feel that is reflected in the names of the streets and local bays. It boasts a number of excellent shops, caf&eacute;s and restaurants to wander among&nbsp;at your leisure.

&nbsp;

There are many wonderful attractions in Akaroa to explore making this the ultimate day trip, one that you don&rsquo;t want to miss!&nbsp;Discover this beautiful little town yourself, or book one of the many award-winning tours, such as swimming with the dolphins, seeing the penguins, or taking a harbour cruise.&nbsp;
