Private Wellington Full Day Sightseeing Tour

See Wellington’s key sights on a private city tour that moves from hilltop lookouts to the rugged coast. Travel along the shoreline to Red Rocks, with views across the water to the South Island, then take in the city and harbour from Mt Victoria.

The tour includes a ride on the Cable Car, followed by time to wander down through the Botanical Gardens. From there, the day shifts to some of Wellington’s best-known civic and historic sites. Visit Old St Paul’s Church, noted as one of the most beautiful wooden churches in the world, and pass through the Parliament grounds, including the Beehive, where many of the country’s major decisions are made.

There is also a stop at Weta Cave, where you can view the museum and shop connected to Peter Jackson’s film work. Lunch with refreshments is taken by the sea at Chocolate Fish Cafe, giving you time to pause before continuing through the city.

This tour brings together coastal scenery, landmark viewpoints, gardens, film culture, and national institutions in a way that feels varied and easy to follow, with each stop clearly distinct and grounded in places that define Wellington.
