Wellington Scenic 2 hour drive

Short on time and only in Wellington for a day? 

Enjoy a 2 hour private guided tour where you will be taken on a scenic drive around Oriental Bay to head up to one of Wellingtons premier viewing points – Mt Victoria. We then head around Evans Bay to view the Wellywood sign on the Miramar Peninsula.

We continue our drive around the Miramar Peninsula stopping at the magnificent Massey Memorial, the resting place of Prime Minister William Massey and his wife Christina. 

Our next stop is at Breaker Bay on the southern coast to visit a monument to the 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 the day.

We then head further around the south coast passing through the southern bays of Lyall Bay, Houghton Bay, Island Bay and Owhiro Bay arriving back in the CBD to view the iconic buildings of the Parliamentary precinct - the ‘Beehive’, Parliament House and the Parliamentary Library building. 

Just around the corner we come to Old St Pauls Anglican Cathedral. The 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.

After viewing Old St Pauls Cathedral we return you to your selected drop off location to complete your tour with Kaewa Tours.
