From Cruise Port: Dunedin
Visit one of New Zealand's most renowned eco-tourism areas and the country's only castle.
A 6.5 hour tour travelling the Otago Peninsula via the high road for the most picturesque scenery towards the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Otago harbour with Dunedin City on the other. Our first major stop is Larnach Castle - New Zealand's only castle. Views from the top of the tower are spectacular and the beautiful gardens complete this enjoyable award-winning experience.
We will then drive a bit further up the peninsula past the seaside settlement of Portbello onto Taiaroa Head where we will stop for lunch (at your expense) at the Royal Albatross Centre (with the added bonus of maybe seeing a Royal Albatross or two flying).
Then it's on to the stunning Nature's Wonders where we will take a one hour guided tour in a small coach over farmland to the wildlife viewing area. Or if you are feeling a little more adventurous upgrade to the exhilaration of a 8 wheel-drive off road all terrain Argo vehicle that takes you to the same wildlife area. See Ticket DND-T009 to purchase your upgrade.
Here amidst truly spectacular scenery, are the world's rarest penguins, Hoiho the 'Yellow Eyed', the little Blue Penguins, the New Zealand Fur Seals and Cormorants (shags) all living in their natural environment.
We return to the city via the low road for the most picturesque scenery harbour drive back to the city.
We visit Baldwin Street - the world's steepest street and Dunedin Railway Station before returning to your ship by the required time.

Is this tour suitable for wheelchair users?
Due to the terrain and vehicles at Nature's Wonders, this tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or persons with limited mobility. Larnach Castle also has limited access for wheelchairs.
Will I be collected and dropped off at the ship?
Yes, the tour guide will meet you by the ship at Port Chalmers and drop you back there in plenty of time to board before the ship departs.
Will we definitely see the wildlife?
We can not guarantee that the wildlife will always be seen, but our experience is that this is almost always the case. Seals are always to be seen but the Penguins can sometimes be hard to see.
Where does the tour start from?
The tour begins at the ship berth at Port Chalmers. Your guide will meet you alongside the ship before a short transfer to Dunedin city centre where you have some free time to explore before departing for the Otago Peninsula.
