Starting in the heart of Dunedin, this drive takes you up to Signal Hill, the perfect spot to catch a breathtaking sunset over the harbour and city. As the golden light fades, the view stretches out in every direction, making it a magical place to soak in the moment. After sunset, the drive back down leads you into the city as it lights up for the night. The waterfront reflects the city’s glow, creating a peaceful and beautiful way to end the journey. It’s the perfect mix of stunning nature and Dunedin’s unique charm.

Signal Hill is a huge land mass near the heart of the Otago Harbour. It is home to the Signal Hill Lookout, offering stunning views just a short drive from the centre city. This is the perfect place to survey Dunedin for the first time. The lookout is a central plateau, home to a monument with two bronze statues dedicated to the New Zealand Centennial. This popular spot is used by many different groups. Mountain bikers start here and ride down through the trails in the scenic reserve that encompasses much of Signal Hill. Tours often stop here for photo opportunities and to provide context for the rest of the adventure.

Dunedin is the second-largest city in the South Island of New Zealand (after Christchurch) with a population of 120,000. And it is the principal city of the Otago region. Known as the Edinburgh of New Zealand, Dunedin wears its Scottish heritage with pride. Surrounded by dramatic hills and at the foot of a long, picturesque harbour, Dunedin is one of the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. The urban area of Dunedin lies on the central-eastern coast of Otago, surrounding the head of Otago Harbour, and the harbour and hills around Dunedin are the remnants of an extinct volcano. The city suburbs extend out into the surrounding valleys and hills, onto the isthmus of the Otago Peninsula, and along the shores of the Otago Harbour and the Pacific Ocean.
