Overview

Start at Port Chalmers to experience the beauty of Dunedin on a fantastic 5 hour tour of rich heritage, spectacular scenery. You will experience gorgeous and memorable landscape of Otago Peninsula with amazing string of rugged beaches, bays and wildlife. Your knowledgeable guide will show you the most breathtaking views and take you closer to nature and its wildlife. Spend some free time at Royal Albatross Centre: this place offers the world's only mainland colony of Royal Albatross. Here you have the option to either take lunch, explore the visitor center or wander outside (since it's generally pretty windy, you are likely to see flying the largest seabirds!) or watch lazy seals. You will stop at the world's steepest street, First Church, Railway station and will have some free time to explore internationally significant and the oldest botanic garden in New Zealand. The tour is designed only for a small group, to enjoy flexibility, comfort and personalized attention.

Lovely tour

Published on Feb, 2025

This tours runs for about 6 hours, so you have a fun-filled day! Our driver/guide was Teresa, and she is just great: a lot of knowledge and very lovely person. After some highlights in Dunedin we drove to the Peninsula to view the albatross colony. A bit windy and chilly when we got there but the most amazing view of the cliff. A recommended tour if you're visiting Dunedin for the day.

Great tour but shame about the weather

Published on Nov, 2024

Enjoyed the tour, a shame about the weather. Warren the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting.

Great trip

Published on Nov, 2024

Really enjoyed it, weather want great but the guide was brilliant. Loved to steepest street in the world and the albatross centre, see some sea lions but sadly no albatrosses. Great day though

3 couples on a bucket list trip!

Published on Nov, 2024

The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, the towns quaint, and the fish and chips at the Albatross Center Cafe were even better than in England! Warren was very knowledgeable and informative. The only negative is that the seals and penguins were down the coast that particular day and it wasn't windy enough for the albatross' to be flying. We can't control Mother Nature.

Beautiful Dunedin

Published on Oct, 2024

Warren is a great great guide. Friendly, warm & enlightening, We managed to see albatrosses gliding across the sky & 2 feeding on a carcass.
