Fantastic 5.0
This is an excellent museum, the largest in New Zealand, spread across four large floors. The exhibition on the Battle of Gallipoli in 1915-16 is particularly impressive. You can't see the whole museum in less than 3 hours.

If I could give this 100/100 I would. This tour experience was phenomenal for Loro of the Rings buffs. Our tour guide, Natalie was amazing. We were lucky to have a small group of five people until the afternoon, then it was my husband and I with Natalie on the rest of our journey was amazing. We were lucky to have a small group of five people until the afternoon, then it was my husband and 1 with Natalie on the rest of our journey through the film locations. Would highly recommend you book the full day tour! Well worth it.

Great 4.0
Interesting and insightful tour on character design and prop making for movies. Guide was passionate and engaging. Would recommend the Auckland location if looking for a more interactive experience. Wellington lets you have glimpse of how they work and see the actual props.

Our tour guide was incredibly enthusiastic, taking us to Tongue Point, a spot very close to the sea lions. The itinerary was well-planned, and even though the road conditions weren't the smoothest, we felt completely at ease with our guide. You definitely shouldn't miss this!

We super enjoyed this! Patrick was a fantastic guide! We appreciated that he shared with us his favorite artwork around the city. He also shared with us information about Wellington. We also enjoyed the hot drinks on the way back. This was a great experience :)

Mike, our tour guide, made the trip fun and enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about New Zealand and shared lots of interesting information along the way. We visited many great places and enjoyed tasting local cheeses, chocolates, and wines. We also got to see Rivendell, the lighthouse, and the seals at Cape Palliser. The tour was very comfortable, and the vehicle was clean and well maintained.

Klook pass does really save you some money and it's easy to also book the attractions. Just be warned that the standalone package dates and time availability is different from the klook pass

What to know before visiting Wellington

Wellington City at a glance

Wellington City’s Klook bookings are led by tours, cruises and water activities, so the city suits travellers who want sightseeing, harbour experiences and outdoor fun. Demand peaks in January and falls to a low in April, giving the year a clear high‑season pulse around the summer months.

Best times to visit and what to expect

Klook data shows January is the busiest month while April is the quietest. Prices move differently from demand: the priciest month on Klook tends to be July, whereas the lowest typical prices appear in June — so peak visitor numbers and the most expensive ticketing month do not fully coincide. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for June or April; if you prefer peak‑season atmosphere and livelier tour options, January is the time to visit.

Tips for travellers

Most visitors book activities a few days ahead, with a typical lead time of about 4 days and last‑minute options often available a day before. For more choice during the busiest month, consider locking in key tours earlier (around three weeks ahead); otherwise many experiences can be booked close to travel dates on Klook.
