QUAIL ISLAND Easter Egg Hunt
The Quail Island Easter Egg Hunt is back from Saturday 12 April to Sunday 27 April 2025.
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt hosted on beautiful Quail Island is back once again – this time for the whole school holidays with adults at kids prices!
Take the family or gather up some friends this Easter (Aranga in Māori) for a fun-filled day on Quail Island. Search the island for the letters to make our secret word and exchange for scrumptious Easter eggs plus submit your entry form to win one of three Akaroa Nature Cruises!
Easter (Aranga) Weekend | Over Easter Weekend (Easter Friday 18 April till Easter Monday 21 April) the Easter Bunny will be on board handing out Easter Eggs plus there will also be spot prizes!
On your journey around Quail Island discover along the way old shipwrecks, cheeky native birds, volcanic cliffs and hidden caves!
The Easter Bunny is getting prepared to leave thousands (yes thousands!) of delicious chocolate eggs with us.
Tickets are limited! Making this the hottest and tastiest Easter and school holiday activity in town!

How does it work?
Come down to B Jetty in Lyttelton at least 15 minutes before your departure time, where you will receive a map and entry form at check-in.
Our skipper will be there to welcome you on board the Canterbury Cat as you then cruise across Lyttelton Harbour to disembark at the wharf on Quail Island.
Our Black Cat Cruises crew (along with the Easter Bunny of course) have hidden posters, with a letter on each, around the island.
Every guest on our Easter Egg Hunt is encouraged to find the letters hidden on Quail Island and unscramble our secret word. Hand the forms in to the staff on your boat ride back to Lyttelton to receive 3 yummy chocolate eggs!
Don’t forget to scan the QR code on your entry form to go in the draw to win one of three Akaroa Nature Cruises!
