This Saturday, a unique adventure awaits in the mountains of Akoura.
Join Routes, for an easy sunset hike that combines the best of the season. We start with a stop at a local cherry orchard where we enjoy cherry picking and experience one of Akoura’s most cherished traditions.
From there, the adventure begins on foot through the landscapes of Akoura, passing by its beautiful lakes and gradually ascending toward a panoramic peak where we will enjoy the sunset over the mountains.
After the hike, we return to the village for a warm bonfire gathering with pre-ordered local food, good company, and a relaxed atmosphere to end the day.
And of course, each participant will take home 1 kg of freshly picked cherries.
