Description:

Discover the historic appeal and mountainous charm of New Zealand's second-largest city. Ride in an air-conditioned minivan to some of the area's most notable spots—through the entertainment hub, to a filming location from The Lord of the Rings, and to the highest point in town via cable car.

Drive out from the center of Wellington and head through Courtenay Place, a district full of fun and excitement. Leave the flurry of cosmopolitan sights and sounds and continue on the scenic route towards the spectacular Oriental Bay. Stop at the top of Mount Victoria to enjoy incredible views of the city's architectural landmarks as well as its curving coastline.

Next, explore Wellington's greenest pastures with a short trip to one of the sites where the epic Lord of the Rings movies were filmed. Soak up the atmosphere while listening to your guide tell you about the city's rich history and traditions. Follow on from this by admiring the majestic South Coast route—35 kilometers of coastline from Houghton Bay to Island Bay.

It's only a leisurely drive back to the city before you reach the bottom of the renowned Wellington Cable Car, which you can board to view the city from an unbeatable vantage point. Finish your all-encompassing tour with a lovely walk through the grounds of New Zealand's Parliament.
