Simple steps to book via Klook and check in hotel earlier at 2pm, staff is friendly and the room is 5 star rated. Will definately book the hotel again next time for early morning flight.

I booked the Winery & Foodie Tour last Saturday on a bit of a whim, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my stay in New Zealand. A big shoutout to Phil, our tour guide, who made the whole experience smooth, informative, and fun. He shared great stories about the region and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. We visited lovely spots around Martinborough and enjoyed artisan cheese, chocolates, great food, and of course wonderful wines. As someone visiting wineries for the first time, it was such a memorable introduction to the local wine culture. What made the tour even better was the small group. I was joined by a lovely couple and another companion whose warm company made the day relaxed and enjoyable. As a solo traveler, I truly appreciated it. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a relaxing and delicious day tour!

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.

Overall an outstanding tour with a lot of good information and great to see all those filming locations for LOTR. Our guide was Robin who was an extra throughout the three movies and it was fun hearing his perspectives and talking with someone who was really in the thick of the movie making experience. The van was comfortable and the props were a nice touch to make photos a bit more memorable. Highly recommend this tour and this company.

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!

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.
