A tour that "cruise" the city of Dunedin. Sit back and relax as we introduce you to Dunedin and its iconic buildings and landmarks.
​
Pick up is from Port Chalmers which is about 12kms (7.5miles) from the centre of Dunedin City. Enroute to the city we'll see New Zealand's steepest street, Baldwin Street, Dunedin's covered Sports Stadium and the Otago University campus all residing in the city's northern area,
​
After stretching the legs at Baldwin Street we make our way towards the city centre to learn more about the city's history and view some of Dunedin's iconic landmarks including the Railway Station, Law Court House, First Church and other historic buildings near the Octagon. ​From here, two options could be possible.
