Itinerary

  • Mount Victoria

    We stop at Wellington's most popular lookout point where you will obtain majestic views over the city and harbour.

    20 minutes

  • Weta Workshop

    Immerse yourself in the magical world of movie making and special effects at the Weta Cave.

    30 minutes

  • Massey Memorial

    View the majestic memorial and tomb of the resting place of former Prime Minister William Massey and his wife Christina.

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    Lunch and a choice of beverage at this iconic Eastern Bays Cafe.

    1 hour

  • Wahine Memorial

    We visit several memorials at Seatoun and Breaker Bay to 51 people who tragically lost their lives on 10 April 1968 from the sinking of the Inter Island Ferry Wahine. In fact a further 2 people were to die after the tragedy as a result of injuries sustained on that fateful day.

    15 minutes

  • Ataturk Memorial

    We visit the Mustafa Kemal Atatürk memorial, the first President of the Republic of Turkey above Breaker Bay. The memorial looks out over Cook Strait and the site was chosen for its remarkable likeness to the landscape of the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. The memorial is particularly poignant for Australian, New Zealand and Turkish visitors who commemorate the ANZAC Gallipoli campaign during World War 1.

    View Wellington's first wind turbine and take in another majestic view of the city and harbour.

    30 minutes

  • New Zealand Parliament

    We have a brief walk around the Parliament grounds where your guide will point out the iconic ‘Beehive’, Houses of Parliament and the Parliamentary Library building.

    15 minutes

  • Old St Paul's

    Built between 1865 and 1866 Old St Pauls Cathedral is one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the world. The Cathedral is particularly poignant for American visitors. A large contingent of the American Marine Corp were based in and around Wellington in 1942 and many Marines would attend Sunday services. The American Marine Corp flag and the American national flag of that time with 48 stars hang proudly inside the Cathedral.

Wonders of Wellington via Kaewa Tours and guide Tom Collier.

Published on Feb, 2025

My husband and I were traveling with another couple (friends) and we had some doubts about signing up for a tour which included a couple of stops we were not interested in, but Tom Collier was immediately agreeable to adjusting the planned schedule to suit our preferences. Tom was knowledgeable about every site we visited, took good photos along the way, and was great fun to be with. We like to find our own way around cities to see the sights, but this tour allowed us to see sights that are less accessible without a car, such as Evans Bay and the suburbs of Seatoun and Brooklyn. A sidenote: one of our group left his jacket in Tom's car and Tom was most gracious about returning the jacket to our hotel. We all were thrilled that the day was full of interesting sites and incredible views, and that our guide, Tom Collier, was a delightful guide/companion.

A DAY TO REMEMBER

Published on Feb, 2025

I always try to find companies who are happy to take on solo travellers. It’s not my fault that I’m travelling alone any more so I welcome being taken on board, especially when I’m happy to pay the premium that goes with it. Tom an Kaewa Tours we’re happy to do this. He contacted me almost straight away after making my booking and I appreciated that greatly. Then, when two days out, he hit a snag but he contacted me immediately to ask whether my plans were flexible enough to change. When I replied that it was not possible, he just said he would find some way to honour my original booking, no sweat. What more could anyone ask? A man who keeps his promise has my instant respect. He organised another guide, Simon. This was a master stroke … A big rugby and cricket fan and we were best mates right away. Coincidental, yes, but, hey, it works … that beside though, he knew his home city like the back of his hand. Simon was a brilliant guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, a man of good humour and nothing was a problem. I saw the city with the help of a Wellingtonian born and bred. Every sight was interesting and informatively presented, lunch was included at a lovely seaside eatery and the time just flew by as he guided me round this beautiful place, making my first day ever in it completely memorable. If you’re looking for a personalised tour of Wellington then look no further than Kaewa Tours. They deserve to succeed on this quite magnificent day that I was able to enjoy.

We had a lovely day with...

We had a lovely day with Tom. He was a wealth of information about Wellington and you could tell he truly loves his home city. We were a party of 4 with some having mobility issues and he took every step possible to make the day perfect for all of us.

Fabulous tour of Wellington, NZ!

Published on Jan, 2025

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day out with Tom. He was knowledgeable, passionate and full of great information. His tour around and in Wellington was fabulous and his pleasant and easy going demeanor made our time with him much more special. He made us feel like we had been friends for years! We highly recommend Tom and his team!
