Visit
WILD DUNEDIN – Video
Dunedin is like no other because of its unique southern ocean animals. Penguins, sea lions, albatross and fur seals love our ocean and they breed right here inside our city’s boundary.
You can see these wild creatures any time, but even better to come in the April school holidays when we celebrate our wildlife and wild places during the Wild Dunedin Festival.
