Dunedin City Highlights, Otago Peninsula Scenery & a Guided Penguin Reserve Tour
Overview
With this tour, you will enjoy a small-group experience with personalised attention while discovering the beauty of Dunedin City and the Otago Peninsula. You’ll also avoid the delays that come with larger groups getting on and off the bus.
You’ll be introduced to the city in the best possible way, with an itinerary designed to maximise your time. See Dunedin’s key highlights and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Otago Peninsula via Highcliff Road — a route not suitable for larger buses, offering you a more exclusive and immersive experience.
Your tour also includes a 1.5-hour guided walk at OPERA (Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance), where you will visit the Yellow-eyed Penguin habitat, observe a variety of wildlife such as New Zealand fur seals, Little Blue Penguins in their nests, and occasionally sea lions — and with some luck, even Yellow-eyed Penguins. Wildlife viewing varies from day to day, each visit offers something different, as nature decides what you will see.
