Otago Peninsula

#summervacay The Otago Peninsula is one of the most spectacular and wildlife-rich coastal regions in New Zealand. A short drive from Dunedin, it offers rugged coastlines, rolling green hills, and encounters with rare species like yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals, and royal albatross. Summer is ideal for spotting wildlife in milder weather, enjoying a scenic drive along Highcliff Road, or exploring Larnach Castle and its gardens. The combination of natural beauty, ecological significance, and historical intrigue makes the Otago Peninsula a top summer destination for photographers and nature enthusiasts
