MGS13

We always use Good Company as they are very reliable and a lot cheaper than using the ship.

Thanks so much for the recommendation. They look very reasonable.

We are taking a Holland America cruise in November which stops in Port Chalmers but we would like to go to Dunedin. Is there a tour company or public transportation that we could use?

Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion Bodogbodog. Unfortunately the only ship tour is transportation to and from Christchurch. We are looking for more of a tour and time to wander around on our own time.

Thanks, Terry. We will be there in early November if that makes any difference with respect to the river ride. while it certainly looks exciting, we tend to like seeing cities and sites when we are cruising. I know that Christchurch isn't as pretty as it once was but it sounds like the residents are trying to bring it back. I will look at your other posts for NZ.

My cruise ship, Holland America Oosterdam, will be stopping in Akaroa. Should we just tour that location rather than trying to go to Christchurch? If so, what do you suggest we do?

Thanks

As a first-time cruiser to NZ, and since my ship will be docking in Akaroa, I would like to know whether we should just tour Akaroa rather than getting to Christchurch. I welcome feedback. Also, if we should go to Christchurch, any suggestions as to tour companies?

Thanks
