Itinerary description
The Purple Peak Track was well marked and steep. A solid 2 hour + slog with a great view of the Crater and Akaroa. Cross the saddle to see stunning views of the next inlet. Then descended through varied, winding and steep terrain on the Curry Track which felt like a rainforest in contrast to the climb up on Purple Peak Track. We took the shorter route on the road to Rue Grehan back to Akaroa. A challenging hike but perfect if you want to start a challenging hike on foot right from Akaroa.
