Museum Wellington

Join us on this 3hr journey to Wellington’s main highlights and some hidden gems. A perfect overview of our wonderful city that includes 4 photo stops and a Cable Car ticket. This tour is perfect for those who want an overview of Wellington life and insights on what else to do during your stay.
Following pickup from the cruise terminal or Wellington City, you’ll hear about Te Papa Tongarewa, the National Museum of New Zealand, before seeing the golden sands or Oriental Bay en route to our first photo stop at the famous Wellington sign.
Learn about how the film industry took up residence in the suburb of Miramar and how the peninsula is at the forefront of conservation efforts to restore native bird species in this city, before stopping for another photo opportunity on the South Coast with stunning views of the entrance to the harbour, Cape Palliser, and the South Island [when the weather allows!].
We now journey around the coast and underneath the airport runway on our way to the spectacular Mt Victoria Lookout, where we stop for photos with a great view of the City and harbour, before driving through the heart of the entertainment area – Courtenay Place and Cuba Street. Hear of our café, coffee, and craft beer culture and maybe even pick up a few recommendations from your local driver/guide.
We’ll then drop you at Wellington’s Cable Car [included in the tour price] before meeting you at the top. Here you can take another picture of the view, pick up a souvenir, or learn more at the mini-museum. This then proceeds a drive past the unique Beehive, Parliament Buildings, and the Gothic Old St Paul’s Cathedral.
