Description
The tour starts with a drive along the Wellington Waterfront and up Mt Victoria to the Mt Victoria Lookout for stunning 360-degree views of Wellington city and its picturesque harbour. Take a scenic coastal drive around Oriental Bay and Evans Bay Parades and take a look at the variety of private cable cars perched precariously on the hillside.
Make a brief stop at the iconic Wellington Blown Away sign before a visit to the famous Weta Cave Shop, the hub of Weta Studio Tours in Miramar, Wellington. It's not just a retail store: it's a cavern of creativity. At the Weta Cave you can snap a selfie with the life-sized sculptures, wander through the mini museum, and watch the exclusive documentary. It's a movie lover's paradise.
The coastal theme continues with a drive along scenic Shelly Bay and around the Miramar Peninsula including a lunch stop at a seaside cafe or restaurant (mains and a drink included).
The tour takes on a sombre tone with a short stop at the Wahine Memorial Park before you explore the south Wellington coast, Taputarenga Marine Reserve and Te Kopahou Reserve Visitors Centre.
The tour returns to the city via the Brooklyn Wind Turbine with it's unbeatable city views before a return to the city proper with downtown sights including an optional ride in the famous Wellington Cable Car (tickets not included) and a look at the Lady Norwood Rose Gardens via a walk through the Botanical Gardens. The final tour destination is Old St. Paul's Cathedral and its impressive stained glass windows. Explore the native hardwood timber cathedral which dates back to 1856. A drop-off service completes the tour.

Bom passeio
Muito boa experiência no geral. Guia muito gentil, mas o grupo era grande e não dava conta de todos. O todas as taxas de entrada / degustação e almoço superou o que eu esperava. Não é o mais barato, mas se justifica. A ambientação transporta, dá para ver o cuidado nos detalhes. O wifi que prometiam não funcionava.

A wonderful experience
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. We got more out of Transportation than we expected. Timings were well judged, never felt rushed. Suitable for any age.
Guillaume Z.
Absolutely worth every penny. The Guided tour in english is worth it on its own. You could tell the guide was a local, telling it first hand. Easily one of the best things we did.
Gonzalo S.
Impecable, no le encuentro un pero. La reserva fue simple y llegó la confirmación al toque. Magia de Costa justifica el madrugón. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Wellington.
Fernanda P.
Foi o melhor dia da nossa viagem a Wellington. Pelo preço que pagamos, rende muito. A volta atrasou quase uma hora em relação ao previsto. Se voltarmos a Wellington, repetimos.
Rodrigo O.
Muito felizes com a escolha. Sai mais que fazer solto, mas poupa toda a organização. Se estiverem em Wellington, não percam.
