Passing clouds. Cool.

Taking a ride on Wellington’s little red cable car is an essential experience.

The cable car has been operating since 1902, providing panoramic views over Wellington on its 5-minute chug up the hill to Kelburn village and the botanic garden.

At the top, visit the Cable Car Museum to learn more about this historic attraction, and get out your camera to snap must-have photos of those harbor views. Nearby, the Carter Observatory explains the mysteries of the southern night sky.

Doing what:

Full marks to driver Clive - professional, informative, interesting and seemed to enjoy his job! The only problem we experienced seemed to be a lack of co-ordination in picking up passengers.One group were told to go to city and another were told they would be picked up at ship. Not the drivers fault as all tourists seemed to be unsure/late in their pickups. Overall a wonderful experience and all power to Clive!

Doing what:

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide and with such a small tour group, it was easy to talk and have all questions answered.
