Wellington Activities

Choose from the top Wellington activities. We offer a range of things to do in Wellington, from Lord of the Rings tours to the Interislander Ferry.

Wellington beckons visitors with a thriving art scene, plenty of bars and cafes, and of course the famous Weta Workshop.

Many visitors just stay a night before or after riding the Interislander Ferry. However, Wellington is well worth a longer stay if you have the time. You can easily fill a day or two with local attractions such as:

Te Papa Museum
Wellington Cable Car
Weta Workshop
Mt Victoria Lookout
Zealandia Wildlife Reserve

In addition, allow time to explore downtown and discover unique local bars and cafes.

Wellington Lord of the Rings Tours

For Middle Earth fans, Wellington is a must-see destination. In addition to the famous Weta Workshop, filming took place all around the countryside surrounding Wellington.

A tour of Weta Workshop allows visitors to see how artists create miniatures, armour, costumes, and effects. Weta Workshop has brought to life many of the most popular fantasy and science fiction films of the past several decades.

After that, venture to nearby filming locations such as:

The Outer Shire
Rivendell
The Gardens of Isengard
