In comparison to other similar tours offered by large cruise ship operators during shore excursions to Dunedin – Back To Nature Tours are a local company that is streets ahead when it comes to value for money. This does not mean that quality is compromised – in fact, the opposite is true.

Unlike many generic tour operators, Back To Nature are able to offer visitors a variety of tours so that individual travellers are able choose a tour that best suits their needs.
In many instances, large cruise ship companies will regularly charge double the price for similar tours that do not include as many opportunities to see the stunning natural beauty or highlights that Dunedin has to offer. The Taieri Gorge Railway Tour is one such example. While other companies on average charge nearly $400NZD (adult pass) for this day trip railway excursion, the Back To Nature price is $193 NZD(adult pass), whilst also including an opportunity to experience coastal Dunedin, a rare chance chance to take in the natural beauty of one of our many beaches before visitors are taken back to board the ship. This added extra is all inclusive in the one fee. While lunch is not provided on this tour, the train does have a well-stocked café car, or if guests wish a gourmet picnic lunch can be provided by Back To Nature for a small extra charge upon prior request.
While many tour companies offer generic ‘city tours’ for example, Back to nature is able to combine the city sites with visits to stunning local beaches and bays, so that visitors are able to view city highlights as well as get a taste of our beautiful natural habitat, flora and fauna.
One popular tour that Back To Nature exclusively offers is the Royal Peninsula tour. Priced at only $193NZD, this full day tour offers an experience visitors will remember long after they have sailed home.
Incorporating city highlights such as standing on the steepest residential street in the world – Baldwin Street (as recorded by the book of Guinness World Records), ambling around the beautiful Otago University grounds and stopping at the iconic architectural beauty of the historic Dunedin Railway Station – Royal Peninsula guests will also be taken out onto the stunningly beautiful Otago Peninsula. This unique part of New Zealand not only offers once in a lifetime panoramic photo opportunities, but also the chance to see the NZ native Yellow Eyed Penguin in it’s natural habitat, or the mighty Northern Royal Albatross stretching it’s magnificent 3 metre wingspan to soar in wind off the high coastal cliffs.
