2025 Harington Point Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

It takes about 50 minutes to drive from Dunedin to the top of Taiaroa Head along the Otago Harbour, which is the most famous ecotourism area in New Zealand. At the top of the peninsula is the Royal Albatross Sanctuary, the only breeding ground for royal albatrosses on the mainland. There is an Albatross Conservation Center here, which provides informative guided tours. In the harbour town on the coast of the Otago Peninsula, an ecotourism company provides boat trips for tourists. Departing from the small pier, the one-hour journey takes tourists to visit Taiaroa Head to watch seabirds and marine life. There are two species of albatross seen on the Ship River, namely the Royal Albatross and the Buller's Albatross. The albatross is a large seabird that is very good at long-distance flight. When the wings of a royal albatross are spread, they can reach 3 meters. The flying principle is similar to that of a hang glider. They need to wait for the wind to pick up before they can take off. The maximum flying speed is up to 100 kilometers per hour. #NewZealand #Overseas Travel #Birdwatching #NatureJourney #ExploreNatureJourney

#seasidephotoguide #animals #naturalwonders We only took the Wildlife Tour so didn't book the tour, but spent an hour exploring the information center and museum. . . it was SENSATIONAL and very informative.. it was so worth it to see the penguins kneeling in front of us. Try hard to get there but be prepared for a serious flu - bring a very warm and windproof hat, gloves, scarf and coat. We spent an hour just wandering around and reading everything about the history of the Albatross and how the Colonies were discovered, founded and protected over the years. We will definitely be back next year and doing the tour. They also have a nice gift and gift shop as well as a lovely cafe. Very well. #nationalpark#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

It is recommended that you go to the farm or manufacturer's direct sales store to purchase, it's cheaper🎁. 2️⃣February climate: February is summer in New Zealand☀️, the temperature is around 20-30°C, remember to wear lightweight short-sleeved shorts, and bring sunscreen🧴 to prevent sunburn😎. 3️⃣Airport Transportation: From the airport to the city there are public buses 🚌 and taxis 🚕, you can choose to book pick-up service. I would more recommend the latter, which, while more expensive, is comfortable and convenient. 👌 Remember, be sure to plan before you leave and enjoy your trip to New Zealand! ✈️🍻 -- Every cloud, every piece of grass in New Zealand is worth discovering and experiencing. Pack your luggage, New Zealand is waiting for you to explore 🌈🎒🚙

Awesome location, cool pop culture vibes, very yummy food, perfect coffee and very friendly staff. Definitely a must visit. The food and milkshakes were absolutely fantastic on a dreary Wellington afternoon. My eggs Benedict was perfectly cooked with great sides. Only the hash browns were a bit mushy. Rich, creamy milk shakes that you had to start eating with a spoon as they slowly melted. Huge portions for the really hungry. It rivaled many of the restaurants in the CBD. #newzealandtrip #goodfood #travel
