​

Our tour guide will meet you at 9:00 AM at the Port Chalmers Cruise Terminal tour waiting area for 9:30 AM departure, located between doors 1 and 2. 

Non cruise ship passengers start their tour at the Octagon at 9:00 AM, outside Dunedin Visitor centre.

​

From there, embark on a scenic 20-minute drive to Dunedin City, with photo opportunities along the way. The first stop will be at the world’s steepest street, where you'll have around 10 minutes to take in the stunning views.

Next, enjoy a panoramic vista of the area from the lookout point before heading to the Dunedin Botanical Gardens. Here, you'll explore the diverse range of plants and birds native to the region.

Continue your journey with a visit to the historic Dunedin Railway Station, learning about its fascinating past and architectural significance.

Afterward, take a scenic drive along the Otago Peninsula’s Highcliff Road, with additional photo stops to capture the breathtaking landscapes. 

​

After approximately an hour, you will reach the end of the Peninsula and have about an hour of free time at the Albatross Centre. During this time, you can grab drinks or lunch at the café, explore the area, and watch the albatross gliding. Please note that this option does not include the 1-hour guided tour at the Albatross Centre.

You'll return via a scenic route along the low road, offering a different perspective of the harbor.  Expect to return to Port Chalmers between 3:30 and 4:00 PM. Alternatively, if your ship departs later, you can remain in the city to explore or shop, and return to the port on your own.

We reserve the right to slightly adjust the itinerary and its order based on factors beyond our control, such as road closures, late ship arrivals or early departures, and other unforeseen circumstances.
