Bateau-taxi et navette pour le château de Larnach

Rob and Holly are a wonderful couple, soo friendly. The excursion was seamless and well planned. Highly recommend!!

Husband and wife (can’t recall names) tour operators were personable and informative. Seeing the area by boat was an interesting perspective. You’re on your own to tour the gardens and “castle” (large home is probably more accurate) and you do learn a lot about local history. Could have spent a little more time there. You’re then transported to the Dunedin waterfront to finish up.

It was a great experience. Rob, our water taxi driver was helpful, informative and concerned that we have a great experience despite rainy weather. He pointed out wildlife, including a Sea Lion and a Shag bird. His wife Holly was a great shuttle driver and was prompt in pickup and return. Highly recommend them. The castle was very interesting and scenic. Unfortunately the weather prevented a leisurely walk of the grounds. But overall a fun excursion.

A little tricky to find the pick up point for the boat. Happily the information desk at the terminal figured it out. Viator should send you a small map. Everything else was perfect. Husband and wife team could not have made it better. The captain even ordered taxi for us when we departed his tour to get to the octagon as it was drizzling. Fun way to see Larnach Castle.

Holly and Rob offer a fantastic option of transport to the Larnach Castle and Dunedin. We enjoyed our water taxi ride to the Castle despite the foggy weather and Holly took us in the shuttle bus to the castle's front doors. We arrived there before the first big bus of tourists which was terrific. Holly and Rob are the friendliest, personable people who are local to the area. Holly provided extra knowledge about the castle, the family and its history while we were in the shuttle. They also provided info on how to catch local transport back to the cruise ship which led us to finding wonderful local markets in the Port Chalmer's community hall. Support this wonderful family local business. The flat walk from the cruise ship to the pickup point, roughly 7-10 minutes, was easy to navigate with helpful people in the terminal and the instructions and map Rob provided. Highly recommend this tour and supporting local business.

Rob and Holly were amazing and made the trip great. From Robs water taxi to Hollys taxi up to the castle. Highly recommend using them.

Amazing trip across the water to our destination with Rob.. Great shuttle to the top and back by holly who knows a lot about the castle and the family. Super friendly people. We were lucky enough to see doilphins on our way back too. Brilliant.

This tour was the absolute easiest way to get from our cruise ship docked in Port Chalmers to Larnach Castle. A water taxi piloted by Rob took us across the harbor (beautiful ride!) where we met our shuttle driver, Frankie, who expertly navigated the twists, turns and steep climbs of the road to Larnach Castle. We enjoyed two hours on the grounds exploring on our own both inside and out, before being picked up by Frankie for the drive back down the mountain. Rob was again waiting to ferry us the other way across the harbor to Dunedin for the opportunity to explore this charming city. Rob and Frankie were both extremely professional, answered the group’s many questions and made the outings really fun. I would HIGHLY recommend this excursion and wish you the perfect weather like we were lucky enough to have that day!

This is a great way to travel to the Larnach Castle and back to Dunedin. The tour was timely and the guides knowledge is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone cruising with a stop in Port Chalmers.

Holly and Rob are a dynamic duo. We had a private water taxi trip with Rob who then handed us off to his wife Holly who gave us so much history as we drove to the castle. They are both pleasant and professional. We had a great day and highly recommend them to anyone traveling to Dunedin.
