Ōtamahua/Quail Island

The perfect place to relax, this inner harbour island features walking tracks, swimming spots, Māoripou and spectacular views. Black Cat Cruises operate a daily ferry from Lyttelton Wharf and there’s a DOC hut for overnight stays.

Governors Bay

A thriving community of heritage buildings,a handful of cafés and picnic pots. 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.

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.
