Catlins Cruiser Private Tour from Dunedin Cruise Port
Overview
Take off on your scenic cruise down the Southern New Zealand coast to explore all the Catlins Forest Park has to offer. Starting at the Tunnel Beach, you will discover dramatic cliffs and a hand carved tunnel inviting you to the sandy shores. Next, go for a guided walk on the Awakiki Bush Track, a 2.7 km loop that showcases the diverse flora and fauna of Otago, with chances to spot native wildlife. Stop at Kaka Point for a kiwi classic of takeaways at the beach while keeping your eyes peeled for seals along the beach and dolphins in the water. Cap off your journey with a visit to the Nugget Point Lighthouse, where you can take in stunning panoramic views of the coastline and famous rock formations before enjoying the scenic drive back to Dunedin.
