Wellington Day Tours

Wellington is New Zealand’s capital city and the southernmost city in the North Island. Surrounded by hilly terrain and with a stunning natural harbour, the city offers plenty of things to see and do for families and independent travellers alike. Natural attractions in Wellington include Mount Victoria, the Botanic Gardens (best accessed by Wellington’s iconic Cable Car) and Zealandia native wildlife sanctuary. Wellington is also home to Te Papa, the national museum and art gallery. Situated on the waterfront, Te Papa has several floors of fun hands-on exhibits that show off New Zealand’s natural, cultural and social history, as well as hosting international exhibitions.

The ‘capital of cool’, Wellington combines big city culture with small-town charm. Its compact city centre means most attractions are within walking distance. There are shopping and dining options for every budget in the Cuba Mall precinct and along Lambton Quay. Foodies and craft beer devotees will find themselves in paradise, especially in August each year during the annual ‘Welly on a Plate’ food festival.

For film buffs and Lord of the Rings fans, Wellington is a must-visit as it’s the home of the famous Weta Workshop, where Sir Peter Jackson and his team created fantastic special effects, costumes and props for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies, as well as many other well-known films.
