Top Port Chalmers Transfers

Dunedin City is a wildlife wonderland, and this morning or afternoon cruise is a great way to see these native birds and marine animals close-up. Instead of wearing yourself out on a tramp across the peninsula, cruise through the Otago Harbour and past Taiaroa Head in a custom-built boat with a heated cabin and open deck for scenic photos. Look out for albatross, blue penguins, sea lions, dolphins, and more while listening to onboard commentary from your skipper/guide.

Dunedin is where you’ll find New Zealand’s only castle. Ride a water taxi to Macandrew Bay before being shuttled up to the castle on a scenic drive through the Otago Peninsula on this small-group trip. Explore the castle and its colorful gardens, then head to Steamer Basin in Dunedin for a wander around the city.

Wanting to get from Portobello to Port Chalmers or Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua? Ride with us on "Adagio" the coolest ferry on the harbour. Sit upstairs on the flybridge for the best views while travelling across the beautiful Otago harbour. Our Dunedin Bike Ferry is the best option for crossing the harbour while cyling Te Aka Otakou, the Otago harbour cycleway. We have a flexible schedule, the best boat with an elevated viewing deck, and the cheapest fares.

This is much more than a ferry crossing-The Port To Port Bike Ferry is the original bike ferry on Otago Harbour. It is often described as the highlight of the Cycle Loop. Its a custom built ferry, with a purpose-built bike rack, allowing your bicycle to be safely loaded while you relax & enjoy the ride. In just 10 scenic minutes, you'll cross Otago Harbour & complete the famous Cycle Loop—a mostly flat, paved ride & one of Dunedin's must-do activities. Your skipper, Rachel, has been operating commercial vessels and guiding visitors on Otago Harbour since 2004. As a passionate local, she shares fascinating stories about the harbour's history, wildlife, working port, shipwrecks, volcanic landscape and hidden gems during the crossing. Port To Port is a family-owned, owner-operated business, so every trip is personal, friendly and professional. It's an opportunity to travel with a local, meet other cyclists and enjoy a genuine Dunedin experience loved by both visitors and locals alike.
