The Otago Peninsula, stretching along the edge of the Otago Harbour is an easy scenic drive from central Dunedin that will see you passing by lush green pastures, 
small bays and inlets, sandy beaches, rugged hills and volcanic landforms.
So near to a major city centre, yet so far removed from the hectic pace of city living, the Otago Peninsula is one of New Zealand’s renowned eco tourism areas. There are countless opportunities to view a remarkable range of wildlife from the Royal Albatross, to rare Yellow-Eyed Penguins, the world's smallest penguin, the blue and a variety of seals, water, and wading birds.
The highlights of the Otago Peninsula’s well-preserved, colourful history include 
Larnach Castle, Glenfalloch Woodland Gardens, and the Disappearing Gun.
As well, you can discover the talents of current residents when you visit the galleries, studio and craft shops that dot the area, while the restaurants offer a great selection of fine cuisine and New Zealand's award winning wines.
A round tour of the Otago Peninsula is approximately 64 kilometres. You can choose 
to travel the harbour side road out to Harington Point Motels, and return to Dunedin by way of Highcliff Road with its magnificent views and opportunities to take spectacular photographs.
