Overview

Enjoy a premium guided coastal hike at spectacular Godley Head on Banks Peninsula, travelling by private SUV with your own experienced local guide. This full-day experience allows you to explore at your own pace while discovering the dramatic landscapes of an ancient extinct volcano just 30 minutes from Christchurch.

After hotel pick-up, travel through Christchurch and Sumner before stopping for hot drinks overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Continue to Taylors Mistake Beach, where your walk begins.

The 8-10 km (5-6 mile) Godley Head loop track follows rugged coastal cliffs and sweeping harbour views, taking in restored WWII coastal defence gun emplacements, Scott's Cabin, and panoramic views across Pegasus Bay, Lyttelton Harbour, and the Southern Alps. Enjoy snacks and a gourmet picnic lunch in a scenic location while keeping an eye out for seals, dolphins, and native birdlife.

With approximately 3.5 hours of walking, the experience can be adapted to suit your pace and interests.
