About Wright Lookout

Wright Lookout is a lookout at 299 Lighthouse Road on Banks Peninsula, above Akaroa. It has a Google rating of 4.9 from 20 reviews. Reviewers describe wide views over the harbour, across to Wainui and down the coast towards Akaroa, and one says a cruise ship in the harbour added to the scene.

The road to the top has a section marked as 4WD only, and several reviewers say the road is unsuitable for ordinary cars past that point. The lookout is windy, so a jacket is worth bringing.

For a view over Akaroa Harbour and the Banks Peninsula coast, this lookout on Lighthouse Road is a place to stop and take in the scenery.
