Super Shuttle plus Insider Tipps

Sehr coole Insider-Infos während der Fahrt. Für mich war die Aufenthaltszeit zu kurz, da ich Delfin-Schwimmen gemacht habe und keine Zeit hatte, mir Akaroa anzuschauen. Ein Return-Shuttle um 17 Uhr wäre daher besser gewesen.

Rund um guter Service

Die Abholung in Christchurch sowie auch in Akaroa waren pünktlich. Der Fahrer hatte einen sehr sicheren Fahrstil. Unterwegs hatte er ebenfalls noch einige Informationen für uns parat.

Sehr schön - really nice

Der Fahrer war wirklich sehr nett und hat uns viel erzählt. Wir haben einen kleinen Toilettenstop und einen Fotostop gemacht, wo wir einen tollen Blick auf Akaroa hatten. Die Fahrt war allerdings sehr kurvig und hügelig und mir ist etwas schlecht geworden. The driver was really nice and he explained a lot of the landscape. He stopped twice, a little stop to go to the toilet and another stop to take a picture (we had an amazing view of Akaroa). However, there were a lot of up and downs and I felt a little bit sick.
