After a little confusion at the start of our tour we were assigned to Harry as our tour guide. Harry was friendly and provided adequate commentary as we toured Dunedin and the Otago peninsula. Highlight was Hooper’s Inlet where we got amazing sightings of various birds and seals. Unfortunately due to the confusion I referenced earlier, our tour missed some expected sights. Chris was very apologetic and quickly made things right for us. I would recommend Back to Nature tours for anyone visiting Dunedin.

Tour started a little late due to a one-off local problem but covered Dunedin station and the steep street which could have had more time to experience. Countryside was lovely and saw some sea lions and their cubs on a lagoon which was great. Sadly we missed out the beach and the village stop off due to a poor guide who cut the tour short unexpectedly but we suspect that it would have been better had it been run normally. We received an apology and partial refund for the inconvenience and believe that the organisers should operate future tours properly.
