Discover Dunedin on a Private Tour – Tailored Just for You Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of exploring Dunedin on a private tour designed exclusively for your group of up to 6 passengers. With your own knowledgeable driver-guide and a comfortable private vehicle, you’ll see the city’s top highlights at your own pace, spending as much or as little time at each stop as you like.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Port Chalmers through the picturesque countryside into the heart of Dunedin. Suggested Stops Include:

Baldwin Street – The world’s steepest residential street

Signal Hill Lookout – Panoramic views over Dunedin and the harbour

Upper Botanic Garden – Stroll among rhododendrons and visit bird aviaries with native species

Dunedin Railway Station – One of the most photographed buildings in the Southern Hemisphere

Olveston Historic Home – Optional stop to admire the exterior or explore inside (entry not included)

Then, continue your adventure with a scenic drive along the stunning Otago Peninsula, known for its dramatic coastal views and rich wildlife.
