Dunedin Niche Tour Day Tour｜Sea Lions, Castles, Fish'n Chips

If the previously mentioned city walk and tunnel beach hike give 80 points for the scenery, then this niche route and the most beautiful scenery along the way deserve a full score 💯! 1️⃣Sandfly bay If you want to see wild animals, please come here! Walking down, I was pleasantly surprised! The sea lion was just ten meters away, basking in the sun and interacting with other sea lions very comfortably. This is the first time I’ve seen a sea lion so close! This is probably the spot with the highest probability of seeing wild marine animals, and you can also see penguins here. The Sandfly hiking route is a bit difficult. The sand will get into your shoes and the slope is very steep. It is recommended to wear hiking shoes 🥾 and be sure to wear sunscreen 🧴! 2️⃣ Larnach castle Larnach Castle🏰 It is said to be the only castle in New Zealand. It was built by banker William Larnach for his wife Eliza in 1871 and was completed by 200 skilled craftsmen in 15 years. You need to buy a ticket to enter the castle area, 22 dollars to visit the garden, 45 dollars for the castle + garden. The winding mountain road leading to the castle has beautiful scenery. There is a large flower bed next to the castle and an Alice-themed garden. Looking down, you can see the entire Otago Peninsula! You can see many plants and birds unique to New Zealand in the park; the prices in the cafe in the castle are very reasonable! The prices of coffee and cakes are the same as those of street shops. Buying an afternoon tea and enjoying it in an ancient castle in the southern hemisphere is also an unforgettable memory! 3️⃣Fish and chips with hiking Dunedin has many well-reputed fish and chips takeaway restaurants. You can buy a portion of fried fish and eat it while hiking, which can offset most of the hard work of the special forces military training. I recommend Takeaways on Marlow, which is located in a residential area and has a Google rating of 4.7. I highly recommend the fries, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If they can be paired with ketchup (not provided in the store), you will be in heaven!
