Port Chalmers to Dunedin

[MGS13]

We are taking a Holland America cruise in November which stops in Port Chalmers but we would like to go to Dunedin. Is there a tour company or public transportation that we could use?

Thanks

The ship will provide a shuttle for you to the centre of Dunedin , which is called The Octagon. Its about a 20 minute drive.

You can catch the local bus. Very easy to do.

They will shuttle you to the City Center, or they can combine that with one of several tours they offer.

We always use Good Company as they are very reliable and a lot cheaper than using the ship.

Thanks for posting this information. From their website, the company looks good. I will keep a note of it for our next (don't know when) visit to NZ.:)

There is a regular service to Dunedin. The fare, from memory, is around $4 pp each way. After leaving the port, turn left at the "main street", and the bus stop is a few metres up the street. Get off at or near the Octagon [ask the friendly driver if not sure]. For further information and timetables go to:

The route numbers are 13 [to City] and 14 [to Port Chalmers - Sawyers Bay - Ravensbourne]. Some, but not all, services terminate at the Octagon in Dunedin.

We were in February and didn't have anything booked. When you got off the ship there is an ISite information centre. They have lists of tours you can do, much cheaper than ship tours. We did one and we waited 15 mins for the tour which was in a van that held 10 of us. Every port there is an ISite where you can book any of there tours.

we used good tours last xmas cruise and he was very good. He was so good that we have booked him again for a smaller tour on xmas day 2014 from the Dawn Princess. (before xmas lunch on board )

Catch the bus in and do your own

Easy to book on line and to direct book your own on the day such as the brewery or cadburys

And cheaper than off the ship
