3.Akaroa: Guided Electric Mountain Bike Tour-Lava Loop

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 17 reviews · 3 hours · from $104

Join a small guided group for a three-hour electric mountain-bike ride from Akaroa to the crater rim and back. You’ll climb steep sealed roads on a Scott or Trek e-bike, with help from pedal assist when needed. Guides such as Max, Jack, and Lourn add local stories, photos, and route advice.

“We did an e-bike tour on the Lava Loop and had an absolutely fantastic time. Our guide, Max, was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and passionate. Since it was just the two of us, he offered several route options and really adapted the tour to our interests — it truly felt like a custom-made experience. The Lava Loop itself was stunning, and Max’s energy and knowledge made the ride even more enjoyable. We never felt rushed and felt very well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Max as a guide!”

5.Akaroa: Electric Mountain Bike and Sea Kayak Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 3 reviews · 5h 30m · from $164

Spend about five and a half hours exploring Akaroa by electric mountain bike and sea kayak. Ride quiet sealed roads toward the crater summit for harbour views, then paddle through a protected marine reserve with a local guide. Keep watch for Hector dolphins, fur seals, penguins, caves, and seabirds. Groups are limited to eight.

“Operator was great and accommodating. We saw multiple marine life and had nice weather. I did a self guided ride as there was not a group to go with the day I wanted to. They told me the ride would be alot of uphill and was it ever! Even hills on the way back when you think you're done! I also hit up the akoroa winery on my ride and staff were very friendly so stick a $10 in your pocket and make a stop!”
