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.

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

Quick Wellington snapshot and what people book

Wellington’s Klook bookings are led by tours, with cruises and a few water activities also showing up. Demand peaks in January and dips around August, so the city’s year has a clear high season and a quieter late-winter lull.

Best months to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, January is the busiest month while August is the quietest. Prices on Klook are not perfectly aligned with demand: bookings peak in January but the priciest months by past Klook prices were July (typically high) and a surprising price low appears in September. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for September or the quieter late-winter months; if you want the peak-season atmosphere, plan for January when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia typically book activities about four days ahead, with many last-minute options available a day out and early-booking advantages around three weeks before travel. If you prefer flexibility, you can book closer to departure; if travelling in January’s busy period, consider locking in key tours earlier to secure spots on Klook.
