The 10 Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Dunedin, South Island

January 27, 2022 Tynisha Seiler

Rare yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals and the world's only mainland albatross colony share residence in Dunedin, New Zealand's oldest city. When you're not watching wildlife, this South Island Otago Coast town also boasts impressive historic architecture from its days as a gold-rush mecca. Visit the 1906 Flemish Renaissance railway station or the country's largest center of higher learning, which resembles Glasgow University, thanks to the area's early Scottish settlers.

What a wonderful experience! Thank you to Cheryl and Kiara our amazing guides who were very friendly and helpful at reassuring myself a beginner rider as well as accommodating my daughter who is an experienced one. We took a beach ride with Tono and Mac along Aramoana. What beautiful horses we can’t wait to come back!! Kia Ora

Tunnel Beach Track

Always check the website for changes that might affect your trip.

Reviewed By PaulM223 - Christchurch, New Zealand

The closer you get to Tunnel Beach, the more amazing it gets...The track to the tunnel is well-formed and easily negotiated, but it is steep and a little slippery in places, so good walking shoes/boots recommended. The scenery of the elements carved cliffs and rocks makes the walk very interesting and you emerge from the little tunnel into a sheltered cove where crashing waves meet solid rock on a beautiful white sand beach. There are numerous hazards like uneven surfaces, waves, cliffs and crevasses...take good care and keep children close. Plenty of photo opportunities and spectacular scenery abounds.
