The ridge road along the Otago Peninsula above Dunedin, with sweeping harbour and ocean views.

SeasonOctober to April

A ridge road with long views over the harbour on one side and the ocean on the other.

It is exposed and windy, and the weather can change quickly.

A good half-day ride out of Dunedin, especially paired with Portobello Road.
