Off The Beaten Track- Packhorse Hut Guided Walk (Private Tour)

On this stunning journey to Packhorse Hut, we visit all four of the historic “rest houses” that were once part of a grand walking experience over the Port Hills. The hut is situated on a saddle above Lyttelton Harbour with unforgettable views of the Harbour and Banks Penninsula. This scenic drive and walking tour start in Christchurch by driving up the Port Hills following the historical track up Dyer’s Pass road before heading south along Summit Road to Gebbies Pass. Our walk starts and finishes at Gebbie’s pass, is approximately 11km (6.8 Mi) and takes most groups 3-4 hrs of walking to reach the hut and return to Gebbie’s Pass, including a lunch break at packhorse hut. On the return journey, we return to Gebbies Pass then follow the scenic coastal road back to Christchurch. This tour does not require minimum numbers to run. It is ideally suited to individuals, couples and small groups looking for a private and unique tour.
