Passengers aboard a boat tour in Akaroa Harbour in Banks Peninsula in New Zealand enjoy the scenery and green colored waters that surround them.

As this boat tour nears Cathedral Cave in Akaroa Harbour in Banks Peninsula on the South Island of New Zealand, passengers lean over the rails to get a closer look. The green waters of Akaroa Harbour and the rugged cliffs are just the beginning of a tour that takes you to see some fascinating sights.

As the sun glistens off the massive rock formations, the greenery flourishes and the calm water ripples around the base of the cliffs. These rocks are filled with intriguing patterns that have taken many years to form and will continue to change as each year passes by.

There are many places in New Zealand that can only be seen by water and there are a few boat tours that offer morning or afternoon trips.
