★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 147 reviews · from $186Our pick

Review of Christchurch’s Godley Head walking tour, with coastal views, WWII sites, penguin habitat, cafe drinks, gear, and picnic lunch.

“Nicole was an excellent guide and she gave us plenty of options as the weather wasn’t great. However we went ahead with the full walk and we had a wonderful time. She allowed the slowest Walker to set the pace and provided us with ponchos, sticks and an excellent packed lunch. Lovely day out with magnificent coastal views (despite the showers).”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 57 reviews · from $186

Walk Godley Head from Lyttelton with coastal views, WWII sites, coffee at Sumner Beach, walking poles, and a fresh picnic lunch.

“Both my husband and I had wonderful time on this walking tour. Our guide, Nicole, did a super job in guiding and encouraging us over the 5 miles long trail which I thought initially I was unable to complete. But with the walking poles she prepared for everyone in the group, the periodic breaks she made at scenery points for photos taking, and the taste lunch and snacks she prepared, all 4 of us enjoyed a very nice and healthy walk and picnic. At the end of the tour, Nicole even drove 20 minutes long to drop us at the downtown center of Christchurch, led us to a local market…”
