Wellington Private Tours

The most comprehensive full-day private exploration of Wellington. Begin at the legendary Wētā Workshop in the Miramar film precinct, then Te Papa Tongarewa — the national museum of New Zealand. A scenic harbour cruise and historic cable car ride to the Botanic Garden complete this definitive capital city experience.

The perfect Wellington evening — a genuine encounter with New Zealand's rarest nocturnal wildlife in one of the world's most ambitious ecological restoration projects. After dark, expert guides lead small groups through the forest by torchlight, spotting ancient tuatara, little blue penguins, morepork owls, and possibly a wild kiwi foraging through the forest floor.

Escape Wellington's urban energy on this full-day private journey north along the Kapiti Coast — a 40-kilometre stretch of golden beaches, coastal towns, and native bird sanctuaries. Kapiti Island offshore is one of New Zealand's most important predator-free bird sanctuaries. Includes the Ngā Manu Nature Reserve and a coastal lavender farm.

Discover the political heart, colonial history, and architectural heritage of New Zealand's capital. Begin at the Parliamentary precinct, where the distinctive copper-clad Beehive stands alongside the Edwardian Parliament Buildings. Continue to Old St Paul's Cathedral and the historic waterfront precinct with its converted Victorian bond stores.

Experience Wellington from its most spectacular vantage points on this private panoramic sightseeing circuit. Mount Victoria provides a 360-degree panorama encompassing the city, the harbour, the Hutt Valley, Cook Strait, and the South Island's Kaikōura Ranges on clear days. The Oriental Bay waterfront promenade and Miramar film district complete the circuit.

Cross the Remutaka Range and descend into the Wairarapa's sun-soaked wine country on this full-day private vineyard journey to Martinborough — the birthplace of New Zealand Pinot Noir's international reputation. Three carefully selected vineyards offer hosted tastings led by winemakers passionate about their single-minded focus on Pinot Noir.
