Akaroa's Eastern Bays Scenic Mail Run
Akaroa
Enjoy 5 hours amongst some of the most stunning scenery you'll ever see.
Description
Jeff & Suzi invite you to join their rugged and remote rural mail delivery that has delighted tourists and locals alike for over 30 years.
Discover the magnificent natural beauty and isolation of the Eastern bays, valleys and coastline on this unique mail run experience.
We travel 120km weaving in and out of 10 bays from sea level to the crater rim delivering mail to 140 letterboxes to farms and settlements in the comfort of our red Rural Post Van.
Your tour includes an interesting local Postie's commentary, a delicious homemade snack/tea/coffee break, a visit to a historic church and a short walk on beautiful Le Bons Bay beach. Plenty of photo opportunities and comfort stops.
The tour operates from Monday to Friday, leaving opposite the old BNZ Bank, at 9am, and arrives back at approximately 2pm. Tours operate all year round and are $95 per adult and $40 per child. Saturday bookings by prior arrangement (for 4 to 8 passengers) please contact us via email info@visitakaroa.com with the specific date.
On cruise ship days pick up is from the Akaroa Main Wharf for ALL passengers at 9am.
Bookings are essential as we only have 8 seats.
