Pickup details

The day before your Dunedin day tour, we will confirm your pick-up time based on the cruise arrival schedule provided by the port authorities. Please note that this time may differ from the one provided at the time of booking, as the initial time is for reference only and not ... the actual pick-up time. We will share the driver-guide's personal information, contact details, and confirmed pick-up time with you via the platform. If needed, you can communicate directly with our driver-guide through text, phone, WhatsApp, or email to ensure smooth arrangements. On the day of the tour, your driver-guide will be waiting for you at Port Chalmers terminal, holding a whiteboard with your name on it for easy identification. Additionally, we guarantee that all cruise passengers will be safely returned to the Port Chalmers terminal before the port's stipulated return time. Rest assured, your schedule is in reliable hands.

Although the interior has been largely altered, its exterior remains mostly unchanged and along with the Chemistry Building, the School of Mines and Marama and Allen Halls, forms part of an outstanding group of well related buildings which was erected in the period of Dunedin's pre-eminence and prosperity.
