Transport To and Around Dunedin
Dunedin is a very accessible city, but is also hilly. If you arrive in the city and do not have a vehicle, buses and taxis are plentiful and reliable.

As distances to places of interest in Dunedin are not great, taxis are reasonably cheap by New Zealand standards.

Driving times within Dunedin are short compared with other, larger cities. Due to Dunedin's compact size most of the attractions in the city are situated within 5 to 10 minutes drive of one another, and most are within walking distance.

When visiting attractions on the Otago Peninsula, allow 30 minutes drive from Dunedin city centre to Larnach Castle and the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre and Aquarium, and 45-60 minutes to Taiaroa Head, including the Monarch Wildlife Cruise from Wellers Rock, Penguin Place, the Royal Albatross Centre and Natures Wonders.

No fuel available on the Otago Peninsula. Please fill up your tanks before going out onto the Otago Peninsula.

Once on the Peninsula, allow 20 minutes drive to/from Larnach Castle and the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre and Aquarium, and 30 minutes from either of these attractions to/from Taiaroa Head.
