You will enjoy a stop at Royal Albatross Centre (about 1 hour), the world's only mainland colony of Royal Albatross.

We had a fabulous day of touring Dunedin. Our guide, Asta, was very knowledgeable of the area and showed us all of the sites including the Albatross rookery and OPERA penguin conservation center. Of course, we saw all of the famous sites like the botanical garden, the railroad station and the steepest street in the world. Asta organized our tour in a very efficient manner that enabled us to see everything in a short period of time. Her van was very comfortable and equipped with a speaker system that enabled everyone to hear her informative commentary. To top it off, she is very charming. We could not have asked for a better one day visit to Dunedin.
Lovely tour around...

Lovely tour around Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula. Packed in an overview of the city highlights, had lunch/coffee at a local cafe, and spent the afternoon driving out to the peninsula. Enjoyed a quick stop at the railway station, walked up the steepest street in the world, enjoyed a stroll through the botanic gardens, visited the u I resort, and drove through the historic cemetery.Stunning scenery and lots of wildlife (birds) along the way. Asta, our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.
Friendly and informative...

Asta was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who provided our small family group of 6 with a great schedule for our day tour around Dunedin and the peninsula. She ensured we were back well before our cruise boarding time I would recommend this tour to others.
