Tour description

Water Taxi and Shuttle to Larnach Castle is a tour in Port Chalmers. Water Taxi and Shuttle to Larnach Castle has a rating of 4.82/5.00.

The quickest and most fun option to get to see New Zealands only castle. A fast water taxi ride across the beautiful Otago Harbour to Macandrew Bay, a small seaside village on the Otago Peninsula. Here you transfer to our executive shuttle van for your scenic drive up the hill to the castle. Your entry fee to the castle and gardens is included in your fare.
