Antarctic Experience & Botanic Gardens

Depart Akaroa for a 90 minute coach ride to the International Antarctic Centre. The International Antarctic Centre is located in a unique working Antarctic campus, home to the New Zealand, United States and Italian Antarctic programmes. It offers a fun, exciting and interactive experience of Antarctica. Visitors can have fun in real snow & ice, get ‘exchillarted’ in the Antarctic Storm, explore the Antarctic gallery, see Little Blue penguins, take a cruise down to Antarctica in the new 4D EXTREME Theatre, experience riding in a genuine Antarctic vehicle – the Hagglund. This is one Antarctic adventure not to be missed. Enjoy lunch at the Antarctic Centre, at your own cost, before departing for the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. Here, view beautiful flowers and stunning plants before returning to Akaroa.
