The story of a place. Whangaroa Hakaroa. Akaroa .
https://www.akaroacraftdistillery.com/story
But my tale begins millions of years before names, when two mighty
volcanoes rose from the sea. Flows of lava spilled down their flanks, forming
land.
Over time my fire ceased. Wind and water ground down my vast
volcanoes. The rising ocean flooded my extinct calderas, forming the harbours
of Akaroa and Lyttelton. My island
became a peninsula, connected to Te Wai Pounamu by rocks and sands washed down
from the Southern Alps.


The land and the sea
My slopes became green and thickly forested. My hills rang with the
songs of kiwi, kākāpō, parakeets and tūī. Moa roamed. My oceans thronged with
dolphins, whales, penguins, and kai moana in abundance.
Gods & people
I sat with Maui as he fished up Te Ika a Maui. He buried a troublesome
giant under my mountains. I feel him stir from time to time.
I was here when the first humans came. The Waitaha paddling their waka
from Polynesia. Ngāti Māmoe and Ngāi Tahu built their pā and planted their
gardens. I was here when Te Rauparaha bought
fire and blood to the harbour. I watched the Ngāi Tahu chiefs Iwikau and Tikao
sign Te Tiriti o Waitangi at Ōnuku Marae. I saw the British plant their flags
and the disappointment on Capitaine Langlois’s face as he returned too late to
claim me for the French crown.
The essence of Akaroa
Many have told my story. But only one has distilled the essence of this
place to make poems that run over
your tongue. Songs that sing in your mouth.

One of our most memorable experiences is a helicopter flight to
see the whales of Kaikoura.

Fly north from Christchurch following the coastline with
magnificent views of the Canterbury Plains and in the distance the spectacular
Southern Alps. After landing at our Heli pad in central Kaikoura, you will be
transferred to the experienced Kaikoura Helicopters Whale Watch team.

Being airborne provides the ultimate vantage point to explore
Kaikoura and its many natural wonders.
Experience the true scale and majesty of whales in their natural habitat, as
your pilot gently manoeuvres the helicopter to maintain the best possible
vantage point to see the whale from head to tail.

The sight of a whale diving is something you will never forget,
the huge tail rising high out of the water as it begins its decent to the heart
of the ocean.

The large pods of dolphins will delight you as they play, jumping
and spinning across the waves. Explore the unique and rugged coastline, then
fly in amongst the towering peaks of the Kaikoura seaward ranges.

After your flight, why not stop for a delicious fish & chip
lunch, or drop into one of Canterbury’s winery lunches as an optional extra?

Allow 3 hours.

This truly is one flight “to rule them all”. It’s awe-inspiring flight that will take you over the Canterbury Plains and into the heart the Southern Alps up to the majestic Aoraki Mount Cook.
Aoraki Mount Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak standing at 3,724 metres. There are 27 other mountains in this alpine range that peak at over 3000 metres which combine to make a landscape of truly epic proportions.
However, it’s only when the helicopter lands on a near by mountain top and you step out, that the magic truly begins. Breathe in deeply the fresh alpine air that carries a slight chill from the nearby glaciers, as your mind struggles to comprehend the natural beauty that surrounds you. Seasonal snow.
Fly home through Lord of the Rings country and follow in the footsteps of Gandalf at the spectacular site of Edoras, the capital of Rohan. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure will create memories that will last “an age of
middle earth”.
Optional Picnic lunch not included in price.
Allow 3 hours.
