Dunedin Panoramic Tour

Begin at Port Chalmers Wharf and travel through the city before reaching University of Otago. See the world's steepest street atop Signal Hill, enjoying a stellar view of Dunedin city and harbor. Afterward, see the stunning Botanical Gardens before touring mansions erected by early settlers. Finally, visit the lovely Dunedin Railway Station. This Dunedin tour is the ideal adventure for travelers desiring an overview of the picturesque town.

From Port Chalmers Wharf, your trusty guide escorts you along the coastal harbor road leading to the city. In 2014, UNESCO declared Dunedin a Creative City of Literature in large part because of the University of Otago, which you'll stroll through.

Reach Baldwin Street, noted by Guinness Book of World Records as the steepest street in the world (you can walk or drive to the top). Soon after, you'll reach Signal Hill, offering a stellar view of the entire Otago Peninsula.

Next is a visit to the world renowned Botanical Gardens. Declared a Garden of International Significance, it celebrated its 150th birthday in 2013. While the geographic plant collections favor the Victorian style, it boasts horticultural and botanical collections from around the world.

Just along the outskirts of the city, see where the wealthy homes of the victorious settlers were erected, overlooking Dunedin prior to visiting Dunedin's Railway Station. The station was designed by George Troup with Flemish Renaissance design cues, resembling a gigantic white gingerbread house. As you stroll through the city's historic section, prior to the journey's conclusion, you'll note Victorian styled buildings that echo its British influences.
