Sailed from Kaiteriteri to Totaranui, then back to Medlands Beach.
Then walked to Anchorage. Stunning scenery, boat trip well organised. Wilson's Boats have upper deck for better viewing.

Walk up stony peak gives great views of Akaroa and surrounding area (steep climb to 800metres) but worth the effort.
