Stunning views of Lyttelton Harbour, the volcanic peaks and ridges of Banks Peninsula

Hiking in suburban Rapaki Track I walk from CBD Manchester Road to suburban Rapaki Road for 1.5hour. It will a pretty easy walk under a cool weather. Glad it’s not raining today. U can a public bus there which i took when going back. It is another 3.5km walk from Rapaki Track to the Summit where you will see stunning harbour view when you reached the top of summit as well as whole of Christchurch as you hike. Gradual slope at begin followed by flat land with more slopes as you push on. You see joggers, cyclists, hikers as well as lot of sheeps along the slope and on the road. On return. I took bus 27 which cost me $4 (cash & $3 if u used Metro card) as I’m hungry and tired, and dropped by Pak&Save as I can still used the same bus ticket to bring myself back to my hotel if u take the bus within 2 hours and in the same zone. Do apply for Metro card if you are staying longer and travel more by bus. I prefer to walk. It definitely worth the walk. By the way the walk from entrance of Rapaki Track to the Summit took another 1 hours. Be prepared for gentle upslopes along the track.
