Dunedin Private Fullday Tour

The Octagon is the city center of Dunedin, located in the South Island of New Zealand. It’s an eight-sided plaza with a circular one-way carriageway, bisected by the city’s main street1. The Octagon is also the central terminus of two other main thoroughfares. This area is predominantly a pedestrian reserve, with grass and paved features, and is surmounted by a statue of the Scottish poet Robert Burns1. Several of Dunedin’s significant buildings and institutions adjoin the plaza, which is also a major hub for public transport in Dunedin, primarily taxi services. The Octagon was substantially renovated during the 1980s, and is now a center of the city’s cafe culture, with many al fresco dining areas. It is also the location for the city’s annual New Year’s Eve celebrations.

The First Church of Otago is a significant historical site in Dunedin, New Zealand. It was designed by architect R.A.

Dunedin Railway Station, located in Dunedin on New Zealand’s South Island, is a prominent architectural landmark in the city. It was designed by George Troup and opened in 1906. The station is built in an eclectic, revived Flemish renaissance style, with dark basalt from Kokonga in the Strath-Taieri and lighter Oamaru stone facings1. This gives it a distinctive light and dark pattern, earning it the nickname of "Gingerbread House". You will enjoy the photo taking with the beautiful station building.

Baldwin Street, located in the residential suburb of North East Valley in Dunedin, New Zealand, is renowned for its steepness. It’s situated 3.5 kilometres northeast of Dunedin’s central business district. According to the Guinness World Records, it’s the steepest street in the world. The street is about 350 metres long, running east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the side of Signal Hill towards Opoho1. It rises from 30 m above sea level at its junction with North Road to 100 m above sea level at the top. The slope of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%): for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 metre. Baldwin Street is not only famous for its steepness but also for the events it hosts. The most notable are the Baldwin Street Cadbury Jaffa Race, where thousands of round candies known as “Jaffas” are dropped down the steep slope for charity. We will drive up to the top by car then enjoy the steep hill, and take a photo.

You will drive in to the Otago Peninsula toward to the royal albatross center. The Otago Peninsula is a long, hilly indented finger of land that forms the easternmost part of Dunedin, New Zealand. Volcanic in origin, it forms one wall of the eroded valley that now forms Otago Harbour. The peninsula was formed at the same time as the hills facing it across the harbour, as part of the large, long-extinct, Dunedin Volcano. Several of the peninsula’s peaks, notably the aptly named Harbour Cone, demonstrate these volcanic origins1. These rocks were built up between 13 and 10 million years ago.
