Wellington is compact, cultured and full of character. Nestled between the harbour and the hills, the downtown area is ideal for explorations on foot. Enjoy cafes, restaurants, museums and all kinds of shops. Dance, theatre and musical performances are a Wellington specialty.

The Kapiti Coast route to Wanganui has a lot going for it. Offshore from Waikanae is Kapiti Island, a nature reserve for close encounters with rare birds. A car museum and gourmet cheese factory are other local attractions.

Further north is Levin, which has a thriving clothing industry and many factory shops. Two beautiful dune lakes are an easy detour from here.

In Foxton you can spy on wading birds in the estuary. The town of Bulls is known for its antique shops.

The picturesque river city of Wanganui has a long history. Take time to explore the restored heritage areas, then check out the various options for an expedition on the river. You can also take the tunnel and elevator to the top of Durie Hill.
