New Zealand has always been famous for its fish ‘n’ chips. If you want to find the best, freshest in the country, head to Akaroa.

Akaroa is a French inspired seaside village, a 90 minute scenic drive from Christchurch and Akaroa is the home of New Zealand’s best fish and chips.

You can combine this Kiwi iconic culinary experience with one of the South Island's most popular award-winning attractions. Black Cat Cruises operate harbour and nature cruises in Akaroa as well as swimming with dolphins in Akaroa. In 2010 we were honoured as a finalist in the NZ tourism awards for Innovation and Conservation.  The company is also the recipient of the supreme NZ Tourism award.

Take a cruise or swim with the playful rare Hector's dolphins then buy your fresh fish & chips and eat them beside the waterfront - the end to a perfect day in beautiful Akaroa. From January to the end of February we offer fish & chips for FREE on our 3.40pm cruise.
