Lyttelton Must Do's
Lyttelton Harbour
A very lively port town nestled in a volcanic crater, explore the historic buildings, relax at sandy Corsair Bay and picnic on the grass in charming Albion Square.

Lyttelton Farmers’ Market
Every Saturday from 10am-1pm on London Street. Stall holders impress with their wares and local musicians play to the crowds.
Ōtamahua/Quail Island
For an island escape, rich in natural beauty and history. Pack a picnic, hop on a Black Cat Ferry, departing from Lyttleton Harbour, and spend the day swimming and walking. There’s a DOC hut for overnight stays.
Governors Bay
A thriving community of heritage buildings, a handful of cafés and picnic spots. The Foreshore Track follows the picturesque coastline to Teddington, while the 15-minute walk to Māori Gardens presents a sweet, secluded bay.
Diamond Harbour
Walk to the jetty and catch a ferry to Diamond Harbour. The art galleries sparkle and the water dazzles: that’s how the bay got its name.
Ohinetahi Gardens
This garden is packed to the picket fence with incredible plants and sculptures. Pack a picnic, chat with the resident gardener and drink up Governors Bay views.
