A tour that "cruise" the city of Dunedin and Larnach Castle.
Sit back and relax and let Horizon Tours introduce you to Dunedin and its iconic buildings and landmarks.
Pick up is from Port Chalmers and en-route to Dunedin City we'll see the world's steepest street, Baldwin Street, our covered Sports Stadium and the University campus.
After stretching our 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 of Otago and other historic buildings in the city centre.
We next drive along the picturesque Otago Peninsula en-route to Larnach Castle where guests will have up to 90 mins of free time exploring the castle and gardens, maybe grab a cup of tea from the castle cafe.
After Larnach Castle we may have some free time to see more of the city centre before making our way back to the cruise ship.
