About us
We’re Andrew and Carolyn, a local couple who love the village atmosphere and outdoor lifestyle here in Akaroa.
The idea behind the Akaroa Beach Trail
The Akaroa Beach Trail was born out of Andrew’s mountain bike adventures around the region. As fun as biking is, those steep 500-metre climbs up the crater rim are a challenge at best, and a barrier to many. Even with e-bikes, the effort needed meant there was little time left to truly enjoy the beaches, bushwalks and wineries along the way.
So we thought: why not ditch the pedals and make it more about the experience?
That’s where the UBCO electric scooters come in. They’re powerful, eco-friendly and so much fun to ride. You still get plenty of chances to stretch your legs with walking and swimming stops – but without the uphill slog.
Made for explorers like us (and you)
We created the trail to be the kind of day we love most – relaxed, off the beaten track, and full of great scenery, fresh air and good food. As foodies, finding the perfect lunch spot was a must. And what better way to end the day than with a local wine and a view?
The trail is ideal for confident, independent explorers who like a bit of freedom and love discovering places that most tourists miss.
Our goal is to give you a fun, memorable day out exploring Akaroa’s hidden gems – the way we love to experience it.

Fancy staying a little longer?
We also host a two-bedroom waterfront apartment in the heart of Akaroa’s restaurant strip, right opposite the main wharf. It’s a popular spot and often booked out, but if you’re planning ahead, you might be in luck.
