You’ll be staying at the 5-star Distinction Hotel conveniently located in the heart of the city. For dinner tonight, you’re in for a real treat.

DAY 2

Breakfast is included with your stay at the hotel, so be sure to fill your boots before a day of adventure. This morning, we recommend driving along the Otago Peninsula to the Royal Albatross Centre, where you can visit the only mainland breeding colony of Royal Albatross in the world. If you’re lucky enough, you might even see them flying overhead with their huge 3m wingspan! There are free walks and viewing platforms as well as the option of a guided tour ($25pp) for avid bird spotters. In the afternoon, you’ll head to New Zealand’s only castle: Larnach Castle, nestled on a picturesque site above the city. Discover the castle’s rich history that dates back to 1871 as you explore the gardens and grounds before enjoying High Tea in the castle’s exquisite ballroom. Kick back and relax this evening for dinner while you spend your $150 voucher at Parcel’s Restaurant in the hotel.

You could even drive up Signal Hill for 360 views of Dunedin from above. If you work up an appetite after all that sightseeing - we’ve got you covered. Indulge in a 3 course lunch at one of Dunedin’s finest seaside restaurants: Titi then take a stroll along the gorgeous St. Clair beach. See if you can spot surfers (and perhaps even sealions) along the way! In the evening, embark on a guided walking tour to learn more about the history and culture of Dunedin and get up close and personal with the city’s vibrant street art scene. End your tour at one of the cool burger joints, bars or wine cellars on Vogel Street.

This afternoon, you’ll get the chance to sample one of the South Island’s most famous products, Speights beer, on an interactive brewery tour at the factory.
