Great shore excursion

Published on Feb, 2025

Had a great small group tour with Chris our tour leader from Back to Nature Tours. We had a quick drive thru Dunedin with short stops at the world’s steepest street snd Railroad station. We were provided with great commentary and history of Dunedin and the Otago peninsula. Chris was very friendly, knowledgeable and quite skilled at driving the steep and narrow roadways and the mini bus was quite comfortable to ride in. Our favorite stop was at Allans Beach which was quite picturesque and we were treated to an up close and personal view of multiple sea lions resting on the beach. Would definitely recommend using Back to Nature tours when visiting Dunedin area.

Lovely seaside trip

Nice trip around the Otago shore stopping to see same seals on Allan's beach also a bit of history seeing the famous train station and steepest Street in the world.

Gorgeous beach walk

Published on Feb, 2025

We really enjoyed this tour the most. Small group and clean coach. The driver Chris was informative and a good driver. The best part was going for the beach walk. It was absolutely gorgeous. The sea lions cooperated for the photos. I would have loved to sit on that beach for a picnic!!

Great nature tour

Chris was a great tour guide and took us to some hidden wonderful places. We love seeing the sea lions, birds, and I think I even saw a penguin.

Great value and vistas of Dunedin and Otago

Published on Feb, 2025

Booked through Shore Excursions Group. Great communication, Chris was on time and very respectful. Went out of his way to help. Excellent subject knowledge and very informative. Great package for time highlights were beach visit and up close with fur seals on the beach. If you want great vistas of Dunedin and Otago Peninsula then you wont be disappointed. For us oldies there was a well timed bathroom stop and the nice thing was the trip was not hurried and we covered a lot of ground. Thanks Chris.
