Only rainy day of the cruise but only late in the day. We booked a Larnach Castle tour dockside at the reception centre where there was lots of tours on offer. The castle is very interesting with a sad history. Afterwards we went to historic Olveston Home. This was most interesting, a step back in time. This home is unrestored and pretty much the way it was when built, with an interesting family history. Put this on your must see list for Dunedin. Read Less

We saw Yellow Eyed penguins, Blue footed penguins, sea lions, seals... all close and all in the native environment. Not for the mobility challenged Read Less

Docked in port chalmers and got on a public bus for $6 straight into the city. The shuttle service charges $20 - rip off! Read Less

We did our own thing at Dunedin. They have a great value shuttle bus to town and there is a lot you can do on your own time. We found a lovely Thai Restaurant for lunch. Shopping in Dunedin is great. Read Less

We didn't travel into Dunedin. Instead we walked around 10 minutes to Carey's Bay (other side of the Container Port, Port Chalmers), choosing to have a lovely lunch and NZ Riesling at the historic Carey's Bay Hotel. Not a tourist in sight either. There's also a lovely coffee cafe in Port Chalmers called The Gallery on the main street. Great coffee, lovely snacks, special mention for the Choc Brownie Read Less

Took the local bus into Dunedin ( $6 each way) shuttle was $20 direct, local bus went into other towns etc, much more interesting. Took local bus No.8 out the Baldwin St ( steepest street in the world) and walked up and down. Then back into town and walked around the local areas just out of main area for some more interesting sites as been here 4 times . Read Less

Had a nice walk in town, looked at the railway station and the art exhibits they had inside. Took the local bus back and forth from Pt Chalmers. Read Less
