See both the city highlights and the stunning Wellington coastline. Start your half day tour from Wellington - either in the morning or afternoon and head to Mount Victoria for a full view of the city and harbor. Your next stop will be Peter Jackson's Weta Cave film empire, diving into the behind-scenes of the film trilogies The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with a brief look at the Museum and Shop .
After lunch, you'll follow the rugged coastline around to Red Rocks and head off road to see the seal colony when they are in season, between May and October. Driving back into the city, you'll be taken on a cable car ride where you'll access the Botanical Gardens and walk through the Lady Norwood rose gardens.
Head to the iconic Beehive and Parliament buildings before visiting Wellington's oldest church, Old St Pauls for your final stop.
