Introducing Otago Peninsula
With the most easily accessible variety of wildlife on the South Island, Otago Peninsula is a near compulsory excursion unless you hate animals. Albatross, penguins, fur seals and sea lions are all to be found here, along with some rugged countryside, wild walks and beaches, and interesting historical sites. Despite the host of tours that have consequently made the peninsula their stomping ground, the area maintains its quiet rural air. For an overview, pick up the Otago Peninsula brochure and map from the Dunedin i-SITE and check out www.otago-peninsula.co.nz.
