About This Tour
With this tour, you will enjoy a small-group experience with personalised attention while discovering the beauty of Dunedin City and the Otago Peninsula. You’ll also avoid wasting time waiting for a large group to get on and off the bus. You’ll be introduced to the city in the best possible way, with an itinerary designed to make the most of your time. See Dunedin’s key highlights and take in the breathtaking scenery of the Otago Peninsula via Highcliff Road — a route not suitable for larger buses, giving you a more exclusive experience. Your tour also includes a one-hour guided experience at the Royal Albatross Centre. This begins with a short documentary and an informative talk about the albatross, followed by a walk to the viewing platform, where you’ll spend around 30 minutes observing the nesting area and seeing these magnificent birds gliding up close. Please note that the walk to the viewing platform takes approximately five minutes uphill.
