Spectacular Wellington: Half Day Private Sightseeing Tour

This private half day Wellington tour is shaped around you, with Jo and Suzee, owner operator guides who share the city they know as locals. With pick up and drop off included, the day is flexible and designed to avoid the crowds while giving you a grounded sense of life in Wellington.

Ride the Cable Car and take in the views, with time to look through the cable car museum. For a wider perspective, head to a lookout with 360 degree views across the city and harbour, or choose Mt Victoria as an alternative or second viewpoint. At Oriental Bay, see the sea, sand and wind up close, and look across to the houses set high on the hillside above Wellington’s inner city beach.

The route can also include the wild south coast beaches, where weather permitting you may see across to the South Island. A stop at the Te Kopahou Reserve Visitor Centre adds context to this part of the coast, and there is even the chance of spotting dolphins. In Thorndon, New Zealand’s oldest suburb, possible visits include Parliament Buildings, Old St Paul’s Cathedral and the Botanic Gardens, time depending. You can also stop at the Weta Cave to see film characters, props and displays.
