Water Taxi and Shuttle to Larnach Castle

The quickest and most fun option to get to see New Zealands only castle. A fast water taxi ride across the beautiful Otago Harbour to Macandrew Bay, a small seaside village on the Otago Peninsula. Here you transfer to our executive shuttle van for your scenic drive up the hill to the castle. Your entry fee to the castle and gardens is included in your fare. You'll have an hour and a half to explore the castle and gardens. You'll then be brought back down to the harbour, for your second water taxi ride into Steamer Basin, in the heart of Dunedin. From Steamer Basin it's a short 5 minute walk to the iconic Dunedin Railway Station and Toitu, the Settlers Museum. This is also the departure point for the Cruise ship shuttles that return to Port. Please note- Trips from 9.00am to 11.15am leave from Back Beach, Port Chalmers. Trips from 12.00 and 12.45pm leave from Steamer Basin, Dunedin city. All trips conclude in Dunedin City except the 11.15am trip that returns to Port Chalmers at 2.15pm
