Personalised Small Group Tours across Dunedin, Otago and the Catlins
Discover the best of Dunedin, the Otago Peninsula, and the wider Otago region—including the Catlins, Moeraki, and Central Otago—on a personalised small group tour with Otago Shuttles.
Explore iconic landmarks such as Baldwin Street, the Dunedin Railway Station, and Larnach Castle, or venture further afield to experience the unique wildlife of the Otago Peninsula, the dramatic coastal scenery of the Catlins, and the famous Moeraki Boulders. Wine tours, scenic day trips, and fully customised itineraries are also available, allowing you to experience the region at your own pace.
With small group sizes, you’ll enjoy a more relaxed and flexible tour, with the ability to tailor the experience to your interests. Whether you’re visiting by cruise ship, travelling independently, or looking for a private group experience, tours can be adapted to suit your schedule and preferences.
Enjoy a comfortable journey in modern vehicles, with convenient pick-up and drop-off options, and plenty of opportunities to stop for photos, explore local highlights, and discover places that larger tours often miss.
Throughout your journey, you’ll have the chance to ask questions and gain deeper insight into the region’s landscapes, history, and culture—making for a more engaging and memorable experience.
About Us
Founded in 2013, Otago Shuttles and Tours was created from a passion for sharing Dunedin and the wider Otago region with visitors from around the world.
Owner and operator Warren Teasdale has travelled extensively across the globe, experiencing a wide range of cultures, landscapes, and tour styles. These experiences have shaped his approach to guiding—focusing on authenticity, flexibility, and creating genuinely memorable experiences for every guest.
Returning home to Dunedin, Warren saw an opportunity to offer something more personal than standard tours. Drawing on his deep local knowledge and global perspective, he established Otago Shuttles and Tours to provide high-quality, small group experiences that showcase the very best of the region.
Today, the business is built on a reputation for friendly service, local expertise, and a genuine passion for the area. Whether it’s a first visit or a return trip, Warren takes pride in helping guests discover Dunedin, Otago, and Southland in a way that feels relaxed, informative, and uniquely tailored to them.

— Ruben VergaraSuch a fun day out yesterday with some of our PINC tribe (business group) - and a friend or two we each brought along. We left town at 8am for Bannockburn and Cromwell, visited the below three vineyards for wine tastings (or beer at Scotts), lunch and returned to Dunedin by 8pm.
Thanks to Otago Shuttles and Tours Ltd,
If you would like to go on one of these tours all you have to do is gather some friends, family, workmates and leave the rest for us to organise! Especially great for special events - Christmas works do, birthdays, Mums on tour etc.
