Wanting to be picked up at the dock?

Pick-up directly from your cruise ship is no problem at all. There’s no need to take a shuttle into the city - we’ll meet you right at the dock.

When you disembark, simply walk past the shuttle buses to the last shipping container by the private tour parking area (about 100 yards from the gangway). Your guide will be waiting there with a signboard with your name on it, ready to welcome you.

  • ​Full refund if your ship cant dock into Wellington (ex.weather)

  • ​Can be dropped off at the end of the tour either back at the cruise ship or in town if you want to explore more.

Want to be picked up in the city?

  • If you’d like to join us for an afternoon tour after spending the morning sightseeing, simply meet us at one of our two convenient city pickup points. At the end of the tour, we’ll return you to the cruise port.

    Pickup Locations:

    • 9 Bunny Street
      (Outside McDonald’s, opposite the Wellington Train Station)

    • 217 Wakefield Street
      (Outside the Takina Centre/ Info Center near Te Papa Museum)

"It was a beautiful tour and with the cable car we did not have to line up for our tickets and we were able to get straight on. Our tour guide had great knowledge of the area and was a great cruise shore tour so we didn’t end up just walking around doing nothing"
