About Your Trip

Explore famous landmarks and spectacular views on this DreamTrip to New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington. Start your full-day tour aboard the Wellington Cable Car, a beloved city attraction, and enjoy a 1-way ride from the heart of the city up to the entrance of Wellington Botanic Garden. There, you can observe the cityscape below, and visit the Lady Norwood Rose Garden and other popular sections. The next stop on your outing offers an eye-opening introduction to the magic of cinema. On the Weta Cave Workshop Tour, get a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry that breathes life into the imaginary worlds and creatures we see in film. Glimpse the action on the workshop floor and see props and costumes up close, while a crew member shares fascinating stories behind some of your favorite movie moments. Afterward, savor a 2-course lunch at CoCo at the Roxy, a cinema featuring an Art Deco interior reflecting the glamorous heyday of Hollywood. Round out your adventure with visits to Shelly Bay, Scorching Bay, the upscale suburb of Seatoun, Mt. Victoria and the Oriental Parade, the waterfront road traveling along the most prized real estate in the city.

What we love:
• Weta Workshop has designed creatures, costumes and props for numerous blockbuster films, including “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “The Chronicles of Narnia” series and “District 9.”
• Beautiful Wellington Botanic Garden offers 64 acres (26 hectares) of protected forest, unique plant collections, colorful floral displays and winding hill paths frequented by tourists and locals alike.
• Consider a stroll along the attractive Wellington Waterfront (just a 15-minute walk from your hotel), home to a bustling scene of restaurants, bars, shops, parks, water sports and more.
