There's much to see on this four-hour adventure that takes in two of Wellington's most visited attractions. You'll gain a unique and authentic perspective of New Zealand's history at Te Papa Tongarewa, which means "the place of treasures of this land," the country's national museum. A short drive from port takes you along the oceanside to this vibrant museum. Situated on the waterfront in an impressive, contemporary building, it brims with great treasures and artifacts showcasing the history of this country, the Maori culture and the natural world. From the remains of the world's largest squid to a diorama of a colorful marae (meeting house), there's something for everyone to enjoy. Visit the gift shop before driving to Lambton Quay in the central business district, home of the Wellington Cable Car. For over 100 years, this five-minute vertical climb aboard a funicular has been taking passengers over 390 feet in the air and travelling a length of 2,000 feet per trip. Spectacular views over the city, rolling hills and Wellington's harbor can be found at the summit. Conclude with a scenic drive back to port.
