This adventure takes in two of Wellington's most visited attractions.
You'll gain a unique and authentic perspective of New Zealand's history at Te Papa Tongarewa, which means "the place of treasures of this land," the country's national museum. A short drive from port takes you along the oceanside to this vibrant museum, situated on the waterfront in an impressive, contemporary building and brimming with great treasures and artifacts showcasing the history of this country, the Maori culture and the natural world.
From the remains of the world's largest squid to a diorama of a colorful marae (meeting house), there's something for everyone to enjoy. Visit the gift shop before heading to Zealandia: Karori Sanctuary Experience.
Just minutes from downtown Wellington yet worlds away from everyday life, Zealandia, a 550-acre interactive eco-sanctuary, is nestled within a lush valley and protected by a five-mile predator-proof fence. Created with the mission to restore Wellington’s forest and freshwater ecosystems to their pristine state, it is centered on a sparkling reservoir, home to some of New Zealand’s rarest and most exotic wildlife, experienced on a two-hour guided tour.
Then, reboard the motorcoach to return to the port.
