                Points to note

                • Please let us know your preferred pick-up time and location eg the Airport, the Port or your accommodation. Our online booking system has a suggested start time of 9.30am for all tours. We will confirm your start time and pick up location before you travel.
                • Cruise ship passengers will be picked up from and returned to the Port. If you are doing a Half Day Tour, we can either return you to the Port or drop you off in town with a map & instructions for how to get to the shuttle bus stop. The timing of the day is adjusted to fit your energy and the ship’s timetable.
                • Independent Traveller’s pick-up and drop-off can be from the Airport, your centrally based accommodation or an otherwise negotiated location. If outside the central Wellington area, there may be an extra cost. Please ask.
                • Light refreshments provided.
                • Lunch is at customer cost on the day – We want to be as flexible as possible re meeting your food needs therefore have decided not to include lunch in the cost of the day. We will recommend excellent local food options suited to your group based on where we are when hunger strikes eg fish and chips by the beach or fine dining in town.

                Transport:

                • Our two vans provide you with plenty of space, comfortable seating and big windows for great views. We have upgraded our vehicle to a 2023 electric hybrid Volkswagen T7 van (5 passengers) and a 2020 Ford Tourneo (7 passengers) to reduce our environmental impact. When we need extra seating, room for extra bags or wheelchair accessible transport, we will hire a vehicle that better suits your needs.

                Please contact us before booking to discuss how we can best meet your needs if you:

                • have six or more people in your group, we may hire a vehicle which best suits you.
                • have luggage to carry, particularly if you have more than four people in your group.
                • need a little extra assistance eg mobility or wheelchair accessible vehicle.
                • want to include a Weta Workshop Tours, as it requires pre-booking. Please note their cancellation policy may differ from ours.
                • have children under five years of age, so we can better design our itinerary to meet their needs.
