Discover Canterbury's breathtaking coastline on this guided walk around Godley Head. From rugged Pacific cliffs to snow-capped Southern Alps views, experience spectacular scenery including Lyttelton Harbour and Pegasus Bay.
Meet your guide at Lyttelton Port and enjoy a 15-minute van ride to Godley Head, where you'll receive a day bag, water bottle, and walking sticks before setting off.
Cross a sheep paddock to Scott's Cabin — a historic site tied to Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Take photos from its deck and observation platform.
Next, explore the World War II-era Taylor Battery coastal defence site and learn about its fascinating history.
Continue down to peaceful Boulder Bay for a morning tea or coffee and see some of the area's oldest summer homes built from local beach stones.
Visit a white-flippered penguin colony, where your guide will share insights about this endemic penguin and other native birdlife.
Finish with a gentle uphill stroll back to the transportation.
Notes:
Tour sequence may vary. Your guide will choose the best route based on the conditions of the day. Tour requires walking approximately three hours. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, inclines, gravel, grass, and many steps. There is ample time to pause and appreciate the 360-degree coastal vistas. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
