If you come to Dunedin District looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides. New Zealand is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive. Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.

Dunedin is the capital of Otago, a region that once swarmed with gold prospectors and was New
Zealand's largest city in the mid-Victorian era. It is now renowned as the country's capital of
eco-tourism and heritage, a city of distinguished architecture and amazing wildlife. Dunedin is also
a city of culture and learning, housing our first and largest university (Otago), a selection of
fine art galleries, museums and libraries and an eclectic array of boutique fashion design studios.
A temperate climate (mild summers and cool winters) supports fine gardens and the city is famous for
its rhododendrons. It also has a number of good swimming and surfing beaches, and much natural
beauty on the Otago Peninsula, home to a variety of bird life, including rare yellow-eyed penguins
and the world's only mainland royal albatross colony.
