What to expect
For our Wellington hiking tour, your local guide will meet you at Te Papa and soon leave the bustle behind, winding our way through our lush forest towards the 196-metre summit of Mount Victoria.
Taking the scenic route on foot, we move at a relaxed, immersive pace - enough to breathe in the fresh air, hear the birdsong, and enjoy the dappled light filtering through the canopy. It’s a chance to step away from the rush and truly connect with Wellington.
Along the way, your guided hike will pass through iconic Lord of the Rings filming locations (though this is not a LOTR tour) and share stories, landmarks, and insights about life in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
We then descend towards the north-facing beaches passing the historic St Gerard's monastery and continuing down to Oriental Bay. From there, it’s a gentle stroll back into the city, where we finish with a well-earned drink/coffee of your choice.
