Heading south-east out of Christchurch, our first stop is on the shores of Ihutai at McCormacks Bay, where calm waters and wide views create a peaceful introduction to the journey. We then continue on to Sumner, taking time to explore the iconic Cave Rock and stroll along the local beach, enjoying the coastal atmosphere and fresh sea air that make this area so popular with locals.
From Sumner, we make our way to the historic headland of Godley Head, a place rich in history and renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery. Here, expansive views open up across North Canterbury and out over Lyttelton Harbour, providing an impressive vantage point to take in the rugged coastline, open ocean, and surrounding landscapes before continuing the tour.
