Wind-whipped, coffee-obsessed, creatively charged — New Zealand's capital packs a mighty punch in a compact package
Lonely Planet called it 'the coolest little capital in the world' — and Wellington delivers on that promise with style. This compact, walkable city perched on a stunning harbour is a creative powerhouse where film magic (Weta Workshop), world-class coffee culture, and a thriving craft beer scene collide. This 7-day immersion takes you behind the scenes at the Oscar-winning Weta Workshop where Middle-earth was brought to life, on a wildlife adventure at the groundbreaking Zealandia eco-sanctuary, and through the interactive wonders of Te Papa — New Zealand's extraordinary national museum. Day-trip to Martinborough's boutique vineyards for world-class Pinot Noir, walk the wild Kapiti Coast, and ride the iconic red cable car to panoramic harbour views. In Wellington, every laneway hides a surprise — a hole-in-the-wall coffee roaster, a vintage vinyl shop, or a restaurant that will redefine your expectations.
