About This Tour
Enjoy Dunedin on a private tour, tailored exclusively for your group of up to six passengers. A knowledgeable driver-guide will show you the city’s best spots in the comfort of a spacious van, giving you the flexibility to spend as much time as you like at each stop. A larger group option is also available. Take a scenic drive through Dunedin and along the Otago Peninsula, soaking in some of the region’s most breathtaking views. Your tour includes a stop at the Royal Albatross Centre (about 1 hour), home to the world’s only mainland colony of Royal Albatross. Here, you can enjoy lunch, explore the visitor centre, or step outside to see these magnificent seabirds in flight — and maybe spot nearby seals! On the return journey via Portobello Road along the harbour, keep an eye out for wading birds. With this tour, you have the freedom to create a truly memorable experience, customised to suit your group’s interests.
