A comfortable experience
I enjoyed this trip with Akaroa shuttle as the buses where really comfy and the drivers both ways very nice! After calling them I was able to change my dates and even the pickup location without a problem - this flexibility is amazing. Only one star less because I never got any confirmation from them via email about the changes or my ticket, so I was worried on both ways if they got me on their list, as I had nothing to proof I was booked in. But as it worked out well anyways - Thanks for the great service!

Fabulous day trip
Coach arrived promptly for pick up with Neil our driver for the day being very helpful with historical, geographical and cultural information as we travelled to Akaroa. Stunning scenery both on route and in Akaroa. Spent the day exploring ... busy due to 2 cruise ships being in port. Comfort breaks offered on both journeys for those that might need them. Would definitely recommend.
