Walk Wellington - guided walks in Wellington city

The best way to discover the heart and soul of Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, is on foot. Walk Wellington makes this very easy by giving you a personal introduction to the city. Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable local guides will show you the key historical and cultural sights, and give you insights about this vibrant city. They will reveal stories about Wellington's past, present, people and places - things you won't always find in the guide books.

Essential Wellington Walks

Our easy-paced two hour walk begins at the i-Site Visitor Centre in Civic Square. Some of the highlights will include Civic Square, Wellington's beautiful waterfront, Queen's Wharf, Lambton Quay, The Old Government Buildings, the grounds of Parliament, and Old St. Paul's Cathedral.

Walks depart at 10am daily, rain or shine. (Except on Good Friday and Christmas Day)

Adult: $20, Child: $10. Book at the Wellington i-SITE Visitor Centre.

Evening Walks 

From November through March, take advantage of the long days of summer with a 90 minute guided tour through Wellington's city centre. The tour begins at the i-Site Visitor Centre in Civic Square. Highlights include Civic Square, Wellington's beautiful waterfront, Queen's Wharf, the Old Bank Arcade, Courtenay Place and the Embassy Theatre, home of the Lord of the Rings world premiere in 2003.

Walks depart at 5:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from November 1 through March 31.

Adult: $20, Child: $10. Book at the Wellington i-SITE Visitor Centre. 

Personalised & Group Walks

We can accommodate your group with a customised tour to suit your needs and interests. Tours can be scheduled to fit into your available time, and can include extra features such as the Wellington Cable Car, a stop at a local cafe, or a walk through the Botanic Garden. Our low guide to guest ratio means that you will get the best possible experience during your visit to Wellington.

Book at least four weeks ahead by e-mailing walkwellington@xtra.co.nz. Minimum charge applies.

For all tours, wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.
