- Baldwin Street: The Steepest Street in the World - A must-see in Dunedin, Baldwin Street is world-renowned. Challenge yourself to walk or run to the top, or simply admire it from below. Souvenirs are often available, and it’s a great spot for photos. We always make time for a proper visit to the world’s steepest street.
- University of Otago - As New Zealand’s first university and one of its largest, with around 20,000 students, a quick stop here offers a glimpse into Dunedin’s student culture. A short walk leads to the Leith River, which runs through the central campus, offering a stunning view of the original Clocktower Building from the 1870s.
- Olveston Historic Home - We explore the gardens of Olveston Homestead (free entry). A short walk reveals highlights such as the family’s vintage touring car, the original site of the old 1860s cottage, and the beautiful botanical conservatory. There’s also time to visit the magnificent gift shop inside the house.
- Speight’s Brewery - A key landmark in Dunedin, Speight’s Brewery has been producing beer since 1876, making it the oldest working brewery in the country. We make a quick stop here, allowing time to check out the gift shop and perhaps sample a wee drop of the good stuff.
- The Octagon - Our tour includes 1 hour of free time in the Octagon, Dunedin’s city center. This area is home to great gift shops, banks, ATMs, cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as stunning heritage buildings like St. Paul’s Cathedral, Dunedin Town Hall, and the Regent Theater. Explore the Writer’s Walk, as Dunedin is recognized by UNESCO as an official “City of Literature.” There are street games and activities for all ages, making this lively central hub a must-see.
- Dunedin Railway Station - Dunedin’s Grand Railway Station is a highlight of our tour, symbolizing the city’s wealth in the early 20th century. We allow time to admire this massive building from the gardens and its beautiful interior.
- Toitu Otago Settlers Museum - One of New Zealand’s top museums, this cultural extravaganza celebrates the people of Dunedin and their incredible achievements. The museum houses a wealth of artifacts, showcasing local Maori history to present-day innovations. We usually stop here on rainy days, but we often drop off passengers here during our 1 hour of free time in the middle of the tour if they wish.
- St Clair Beach - If time allows, we visit St Clair Beach, Dunedin’s popular city beach. Spot surfers on the waves as we pass the beachfront cafes and bars on the Esplanade. We make a brief stop for photos before taking another scenic route back to the cruise ship.
