Today we are rushing to the Dunedin Railway Station because today we are taking the train on the Taieri Gorge Railway with Dunedin Railways!
The day starts at Dunedin’s most-photographed building, the Dunedin Railway Station, and we jump on board the vintage Taieri Gorge Train in Dunedin. It’s one of three train journeys in Dunedin.
Like the name suggest, the Taieri Gorge Railway takes us along the Taieri River with lots of tunnels and viaducts along the way. Not to mention the views of this scenic train journey in New Zealand. If you’re wanting to take the train in New Zealand then the Dunedin Railways is worth considering.
Taking the train in Dunedin on the Taieri Gorge Railway brings up all the way through rural landscape to Pukerangi which is our turnaround point where we get to enjoy the train journey all over again. The activity is full day activity in Dunedin and also a great thing to do on a rainy day in Dunedin.
So what you think of the Taieri Gorge Railway? Would you add it to your Dunedin travel itinerary? LUK in the comments.

It’s our third day in Dunedin city and today we are getting out on the water with Monarch Wildlife Cruises in Dunedin. We’re going to be boarding the vintage M.V. Monarch and first hitting the waters of the Dunedin Harbour and following alongside the Otago Peninsula. Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula are a hotspot for wildlife in New Zealand so this is one of the best places for a wildlife cruise in New Zealand.
We learn about the history and harbour wildlife as we cruise through the Dunedin Harbour, as we get to the end of the harbour we start to see more wildlife activity with sea lions, and Otago shag colony, a seal colony on Taiaroa Head. As we get further away from the coast, we start to see more seabirds that you would only usually get to see near the subantarctic islands, like albatross and cape petrels.
Monarch Wildlife Cruises has been another great wildlife experience in New Zealand and wildlife experience in Dunedin. If you want to see the wildlife of the Otago Peninsula then Monarch is an awesome options for a New Zealand wildlife encounter!
So what do you think of Monarch Wildlife Cruises and Tours? Would you add this to your New Zealand itinerary? LUK in the comments.

Today is our first day in Dunedin and the first Dunedin activity on our Dunedin itinerary is to join Elm Wildlife Tours. This is one of the best chances to see penguins, sea lions, penguins and native birds in their natural environments on the Otago Peninsula!
Elm Wildlife Tours picks us straight up from our Dunedin accommodation and takes us to the Otago Peninsula. This is where the wildlife happens. The wildlife on the Otago Peninsula consists of royal albatross, sea lions, seals, penguins and so much more.
As we make our way to the Taiaroa Head where the Royal Albatross Centre is we stop in a few secluded inlets to check out the wading birds of the Otago Peninsula.
After seeing albatross, we head to private conservation land that is only accessible with Elm Wildlife Tours. Here we have a super close encounter with New Zealand sea lions, yellow-eyed penguins and their chicks!
Next up, we get a viewing of a New Zealand fur seal colony much better than any that we’ve seen before.
If you’re looking for wildlife experiences in New Zealand then Elm Wildlife Tours has to be considered as a land-based tour with so much New Zealand wildlife to see! It’s has been one of the best wildlife tours in New Zealand that we’ve done. If you are wandering where to see penguins in New Zealand or where to see sea lions in New Zealand, then these are your best chances.
