Dunedin Cycle Ferry with a Rachel
We used the Dunedin cycle ferry across Otago Harbour and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rachel was incredibly friendly, calm, and professional from start to finish, making the whole crossing easy and enjoyable. It was clear straight away that she really knows these waters — and it felt like every local we passed knew her too, which says a lot. The trip was smooth, well organised, and full of interesting local insight. Rachel’s experience and relaxed approach made us feel completely looked after. If you’re cycling around Otago Harbour, this ferry is an absolute must. Thank you for a great crossing!

Bike-Friendly Ferry, Great Commentary & Service
We had an amazing experience with Port to Port Cruises & Wildlife Tours using their cycle ferry across the harbour. Rachel was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and effortlessly loading and managing a huge number of bikes onto her very cool boat, which can carry lots of bikes at once. Super impressive! The boat itself is perfect for cyclists, making it the best bike ferry options for anyone doing a harbour ride or cycling loop. Rachel’s commentary during the trip was excellent, sharing local knowledge and pointing out wildlife and scenery along the way, which really added to the experience. It’s easy to see why Port to Port Cruises get such great reviews — professional service, smooth operation, and a genuinely enjoyable trip from start to finish. If you’re looking for a reliable cycle ferry, bike-friendly water taxi, or wildlife cruise, this is hands down the best choice. Highly recommend!
