This is luxury tramping, with accommodation provided along the way by the farm owners, including hot showers and the option to purchase food and drink. One property offered star-gazing huts as alternative accommodation! There is also a pack transport option on the two longer days of the walk. The coastline on the Banks Peninsula track The track offers some spectacular views of the Akaroa Harbour, and of the Banks Peninsula Coast, a kayaking option at one of the bays, penguin viewing in season, and some lovely native bush reserves. The bird life was amazing – kereru (wood pigeon) everywhere, and a grove full of bellbirds which were almost deafening – a delight to an Aucklander! We had fantastic weather, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, the sometimes quirky accommodation, and the company we met on the way. Flea Bay accommodation, Banks Peninsula Track
