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 at a glance

Wellington is a compact capital where tours, cruises and water-based activities dominate visitor bookings, and the city’s rhythm swings noticeably through the year. Klook booking data show a strong summer peak and much quieter winter months, so attractions and experiences cluster around that high season.

Best time to visit and price patterns

Klook data identify January as the peak month for demand, while August sees the lowest booking activity. Prices drift across the year: they’re highest around January and fall through autumn to a low point—Klook bookings typically show April as the cheapest month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for April or the quieter winter months; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and livelier events, January offers the busiest vibe. Demand and prices broadly move together here, with the busiest month also typically among the priciest.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers book Wellington experiences about four days ahead, with many last-minute options available a day before travel—this makes short-notice plans quite doable. If you’re visiting in January, consider booking earlier (around three weeks) for popular tours and cruises; in quieter months you can be more flexible and still find good options on Klook.
