Join a maximum of 8 guests for a curated full-day journey through Dunedin's Victorian architecture, Baldwin Street, the Botanic Garden, and the Otago Peninsula's wild southern coast — guided by a passionate local expert who reveals the city's hidden character.
What to expect
The day opens with a walk through Dunedin's remarkable Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes, pausing at the 1906 railway station's mosaic floors, the Gothic-revival University of Otago campus, and the Octagon civic heart. Your guide then drives south to the Otago Peninsula's less-visited southern coast — Sandfly Bay's wild dunes, Lovers Leap's cliff-edge panorama, and Sandymount's tussock ridge. The return sweep through Tunnel Beach, with its dramatic hand-carved sea arch and sandstone stacks, provides a cinematic finale. Local artisan coffee and produce stops are woven throughout.
