Back to Nature Tours exists to provide experiences that showcase the symbiotic relationship between nature and culture, inviting you to breath in all of New Zealand’s beauty. At our core, we’re adventurers: exploring the coasts and inland landscapes, remote and well known, all with an emphasis on conservation of this unique country.

Have fun with us and explore Dunedin on one of our scheduled half day or full days tours or let us create a tailor made itinerary for you that makes the most of your time in Dunedin.

Operating since 1997, we’ve built trust within the local community and our clients as well. We are a Qualmark Endorsed New Zealand owned business which is a distinction by the New Zealand tourism’s official quality assurance organisation. We also hold a Department of Conservation and Marine Mammal Permits allowing us to guide visitors legally in some of New Zealand’s most remote and beautiful locations including Dunedin, the Catlins and Stewart Island.

We know many of our clients travel New Zealand by cruise ship, and we have security clearance to pick up and drop off our clients inside Port Chalmers. And, we offer all cruise ship passengers a ‘worry free guarantee’ that we’ll get you back to your ship well before it departs. If your ship is unable to make it into port because of poor weather or mechanical difficulties, no worries, we will fully refund you. We’re excited to introduce you, or reintroduce you, to the wild and beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. We look forward to taking you Back to Nature.
