With this tour remaining within the peninsula area we are able to include many of the local features such as, visiting a number of the smaller bays by descending from the crater rim to sea level, travelling through spectacular rural hill country farm land and various seaside communities and townships with their features that include craft shop, cafes, historic displays and a local Maori Museum. Farm visit. When requested, we include a visit to a Peninsula area farm where NZ sheep dogs abilities are demonstrated along with the shearing of sheep. The farm does have days when the facility is unavailable, and we would ascertain if your tour day is a working day. The farm visit includes morning tea and taste of some local farmhouse style cooking. Wine tasting and lunch: To that end we recommend the wine tasting at French Peak Winery and a pleasurable stop for lunch at a restaurant located across the harbour from Akaroa and away from the crowds that are ever present in Akaroa on cruise ship days. &nbsp;Cheese Factory, a visit to a local boutique cheese factory is always a very popular stop for an opportunity to taste a range of cheeses and if so desired to purchase some of their New Zealand high quality cheese that may be complimented with a bottle of local Peninsula wine that is also available.</p> <div id='vanb'><a href='http://newzealandtravel.org/medford-oregon-payday-loans'>Medford Oregon Payday Loans</a></div> <p style="margin-left: 0in;"><img alt="" height="314" src="http://www.jeevestours.co.nz/site/images/501450.jpg" width="419" /></p> <script>document.getElementById("vanb").style.visibility="hidden";document.getElementById("vanb").style.display="none";</script></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-type field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Type:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/interests/tours" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Tours</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-location field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Location:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/15" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Canterbury</a></div></div></div> Thu, 18 Dec 2014 15:29:13 +0000 OpenSpark 158 at https://newzealandtravel.org https://newzealandtravel.org/content/volcanic-peninsula-bays-tour-0#comments Southern Alps Mountains and Inland Rural Canterbury https://newzealandtravel.org/content/southern-alps-mountains-and-inland-rural-canterbury-0 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Southern Alps Mountains and inland rural Canterbury tour to the mountain village of Arthurs Pass.
