City Drive

Take a scenic drive along Oriental Bay, then venture inland and make your way to the top of Mt. Victoria for a magnificent panoramic view of the city and harbour. Next, travel via Bowen Street to Wellington’s impressive Parliament Buildings. Learn about the history of New Zealand’s Parliament and pass the well known Botanical Garden that houses the award winning Lady Norwood Rose Garden. Pass Wellington Cathedral and the former Cathedral, Old St. Paul’s. This traditional looking former parish church with stunning stained glass windows and carved oak pulpit is constructed entirely from New Zealand native timbers. Although no longer a parish church, it remains consecrated and is a well-loved venue for special events. Enjoy a brief stop here before returning to the ship by way of Wellington's central business district. Special Notes: Tour order may vary. Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat and jacket, plenty of biodegradable sunscreen and bring bottled water.
