Youth Sailing Trip
On Wednesday 30th November 2011 the Lyttelton Youth Centre under-age users have been invited to sail on the Fox II at an extremely discounted rate. This activity will begin at the youth centre at 3:45pm and we will return to the centre at 7:30pm. As we have received funding for the majority of this activity the only cost to young people is $5 per person. The Lyttelton Youth Center would like to extend an invitation to the young people in Governors Bay to attend this sailing trip with us on the Fox II. This trip is for those aged 11-13 years. Previous sailing experience isn’t necessary as the team on the Fox II will provide all instructions. The first 20 to register will receive a place on this trip. For more information please contact Emma Odering on 328 7427

Otahuna Horse Riding run the "Over the Top Ride" from Tai Tapu to Governors Bay and return. This is a package ride offering two days of riding over a straight forward trail much of it through regenerating coastal native forest,
vibrant birdlife and breathtaking views of the Lyttelton Harbour on one side and the Canterbury Plains, Southern Alps and Lake Ellesmere on the Tai Tapu side. This is a great family or club activity or the perfect romantic adventure for your horse loving partner. The riding takes 5 to 6 hours per day including lunch stop.
