This was a fun way of spending a day in Dunedin. Highlights were the seals basking in the sun on the beach, amazing scenery and Larnach Castle.

A small group tour with a variety of stops from viewpoints, city walk, architecture to close encounters with wildlife (marine mammals). Lucy our guide was knowledgeable, accommodating and an enjoyable person with whom to spend the day.

Was a very scenic tour. The gardens at Larnach Castle were stunning. However, we did not need 90 minutes there! At the Royal Albatross Center do not plan on seeing penguins as they are gone during the day and come back at nighttime. We did see lots of Albatross if that is what you only want to see. I personally would have avoided the Albatross Center and less time at Larnach and opt for some time to explore the city of Dunedin before boarding the ship.
Breath taking tour

Wonderful day. Well paced. Informative. The highlight was seeing up close sea lions and the beach. That does not mean the rest of the tour was jacking - it wasn’t!
