A very enjoyable day and...

Published on Feb, 2025

A very enjoyable day and we did get to see some Baby Blue Penguins out in the wild. Our guide was very knowledgeable

Lots to See in the Otago Peninsula!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a super tour of the Otago Peninsula provided by Teresa, a fantastic tour guide! Loved all the stops, but my favorite in town was the botanical gardens. Teresa kept the tour lively with her running commentary. The penguin reserve was the highlight with a lovely walk to the habitat where we saw some blue penguins in their habitat. And we saw yellow penguins at the rehab center! Delightful day!

Loved the OPERA

Published on Apr, 2024

Theresa was a great guide! She showed us the best of Dunedin, got us to the penguin reserve where we were in great hands, and even got to spot a couple of penguins! We had a great day in Dunedin thanks to Fantail Tours and Theresa.

Definitely would recommend for scenery and the guide

Published on Apr, 2024

The bus driver was easy to find at the meeting point. She did a great job showing us around the area. You could tell from her enthusiasm that she really loved her job and the area. I am sorry I cannot remember her name but her husband does tours through the company as well. During our 2 week cruise she was by far the best tour guide that we had. She even extended the time of the tour to ensure that we were able to see everything that she wanted to show us and gave us a flower that she made herself when we left. The penguin reserve was nice. There is a lot of walking over uneven surfaces. I don't think they really see the yellow eyed penguins very much because there are only a few. We did though see one small blue penguin in his house. The guides that showed us around were very good and knowledgeable. The scenery was breathtaking.

Epic Day in Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula!

Published on Apr, 2024

Dunedin was charming and quaint. You felt like you were in Scotland. The Otago Peninsula and Opera Penguin Preserve was a real gem. Teresa, our guide was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. It felt like we had an old friend show us all the must see sights in one very full day. We would highly recommend this tour !
