★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 142 reviews · from $121

See Dunedin, Baldwin Street, Otago Peninsula, and Larnach Castle on a relaxed six-and-a-half-hour small-group shore tour.

“We had the best time with Kylie and James! Kylie was our driver and she is super knowledgeable and went above and beyond to bring Maori culture into our tour and make the whole experience very meaningful. We did so much in a short time yet it didn’t feel rushed at all. Very comfy van that they make sure not to overcrowd. This is a great way to spend the day if you’re visiting on a cruise ship- it would also be a nice way to acquaint yourself with the city if you’re just arriving. Highly recommend- awesome people, and great itinerary!”
