Natural Beauty:

Surrounded by hills and nestled between a magnificent harbor and rugged coastline, Wellington’s natural beauty is awe-inspiring. Take a stroll along the waterfront promenade, visit the tranquil Botanic Garden, or hike up Mount Victoria for panoramic views of the city and harbor. The Zealandia sanctuary, a predator-free ecosanctuary, offers a unique opportunity to see native New Zealand wildlife up close.

Movie Magic:

Wellington has earned a place in cinematic history as the home of Weta Workshop, the creative minds behind films like “The Lord of the Rings” and “Avatar.” Visitors can take guided tours to get a behind-the-scenes look at movie-making magic.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Wellington offers plenty of opportunities for adventure. From mountain biking in the Makara Peak mountain bike park to windsurfing in the harbor, there’s no shortage of activities to get the adrenaline pumping.
