What to expect

Enjoy a private full-day guided tour where you will be taken on a scenic drive around Oriental Bay to head up to one of Wellington's premier viewing points – Mt Victoria. Head around Evans Bay to view the Wellywood sign then onto Wellington’s slice of Hollywood. Visit the Weta Cave where you will embark on the Weta Workshop tour to get a unique behind-the-scenes look at how Weta Workshop helps to craft physical effects and create movie-making magic for some of the world’s biggest films. After your Weta Workshop Tour, take a wander through the Weta Cave to check out the 20-minute documentary video which outlines the history of Weta. The next stop is at the Eastern suburb of Seatoun where you will visit a monument to the 51 people who tragically lost their lives on 10 April 1968 from the sinking of the Inter-Island Ferry Wahine. Head onto the south coast where you will visit the Mustafa Kemal Atatürk memorial, the first President of the Republic of Turkey. The memorial looks out over Cook Strait and the site was chosen for its remarkable likeness to the landscape of the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey.

Stop for a well-deserved lunch at a local South coast iconic cafe. After lunch head back towards the city where you will visit the Brooklyn Wind Turbine and take in yet another majestic view of the city and harbor. After returning back in to the city you will visit Pukeahu National War Memorial Park and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. You will then take a ride on Wellington’s iconic Cable Car where your guide will take you to the entry point and then meet you up at the top at Kelburn which is the entrance to Wellington’s Botanical Gardens. Your guide will take you to the magnificent Lady Norwood Rose Gardens at the Botanical Gardens (when in season). You will take a brief walk around the Parliament grounds where your guide will point out the iconic ‘Beehive’, Houses of Parliament, and the Parliamentary Library building. Just around the corner from Parliament, you come to Old St Pauls Anglican Cathedral. The Cathedral is one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the world.
