| Wellington Highlights of the Wellington Region:
Kapiti Island: what a jewel in the ocean this is! This native plant and bird sanctuary is a showcase to the world for our New Zealand conservation principles in action. Visit the island by boat, and hike in the bush-clad hills, listening and seeing abundant bird life. Stay overnight in special accommodation, and see kiwi in the wild. Te Papa Museum, Wellington: the accolades keep coming for this astounding interactive and instructive gem in our city. They have simply ‘got it right’, and a visit here will certainly be a highlight of your stay in Wellington Courtenay Place, Wellington: where the café culture meets the young fun set, where the matrons meet the patrons, day meets night, and there is something for everyone. Lambton Quay, Wellington – retailers to the world, these shops stock the best that New Zealand and the world can offer. Open up your wallet, and enjoy! Karori
Wildlife Sanctuary, Wellington – again, a natural paradise,
but this time set in the midst of a city. Escape the high-rise,
and embrace the cool, the calm, and the peaceful. It is ‘Old’ New
Zealand come to life again, with rare and endangered species brought
back to vibrant life, such as kiwi, black robin, tuatara, and our
world famous so-ugly-it-is-beautiful flightless cricket, called
the weta. |
