Discover Wellington on foot with a local guide. Choose from three distinctive two-hour walks exploring the city's history, waterfront and wild nature.
Walk through Wellington's early colonial history
Explore the historic streets and lanes of Thorndon, New Zealand's oldest suburb, dating from 1840. Discover the pioneers and colourful characters who shaped early Wellington, and learn how the town became New Zealand's capital. See historic gems including Old St Paul's Cathedral, the Thistle Inn Tavern, original colonial cottages and Parliament.
Discover the city's maritime heart
Explore Wellington's compact and picturesque waterfront, from Wellington Railway Station and Queens Wharf to Oriental Bay and its golden-sand beach. Discover how more than 150 years of land reclamation transformed the shoreline, and hear the story of Wellington's maritime past when the city was New Zealand's busiest port for a century. Today the waterfront is a vibrant public space filled with museums, galleries, cafés, restaurants and recreation.
Escape into Wellington's urban wilderness
Take a more adventurous stroll into the Wellington Town Belt on Matairangi Mt Victoria, a permanent recreation reserve established in 1839. Follow forest tracks through a fascinating mix of native and exotic bush, listen for Wellington's returning birdlife and enjoy sweeping views across the city. It is an easy way to feel a world away while still being in the heart of Wellington.
