Lyttelton Wildlife Cruise

Just 15 minutes from Christchurch by free shuttle is a scenic wonderland teeming with history and wildlife. Lyttelton Harbour was fashioned from the molten fires of a long extinct volcano. Today aboard the Canterbury Cat, you can prowl the waters on a two hour voyage of discovery. Enjoy the rare Hector’s Dolphin, the world’s smallest. See Little Blue Penguins, spotted shags, terns and gulls. Learn about these and more in your skipper’s fascinating commentary – as well as tales from the area’s geological and human history: islands, forts, Maori sites and colonial settlements.
