Wellington Cable Car

“Riding the Wellington Cable Car is a must-do experience for anyone visiting the city! From the moment you hop on, you’re treated to stunning views that make the journey unforgettable. The cab rides smoothly up the hillside, offering panoramic vistas of the harbor, city skyline, and surrounding mountains. The cable car itself is a piece of history, having been in operation since 1902. It blends a charming vintage feel with modern comfort, making it a unique way to explore the area. The staff is friendly, providing helpful information about the route and the sights along the way. At the top, you can explore the beautiful Botanic Garden, a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, picnic, or just soaking in the natural beauty. There’s also a small museum that shares the story of the cable car and its significance to Wellington. The ride is not just about getting from point A to B; it's an enjoyable adventure that showcases the best of Wellington. With reasonable ticket prices, the cable car offers great value for the experience and views. If you’re in Wellington, don’t miss out on this iconic attraction—it’s truly a highlight of the trip!”

“Very cool - right in the middle of the city (Lambton Quay shopping and business area - CBD). The entrance to the ticket booth is tucked into an alleyway. I came upon it unexpectedly whilst walking around . Runs every 10 minutes. Lovely views on the ride up with commentary. Nice little coffee shop at the top. Had a delicious cappuccino and a tasty treat. Enjoyed the great views. I decided to walk back down through the botanical gardens on well laid, paved paths passing through clearly marked gardens. Highly recommend. Marvelous children's playground along the way. I saw signs while at the top for the observatory but didn't have enough time to check it out. I recommend to buying a one way going up as it's very easy and simple to purchase your return if you decide to ride down instead of walk down. Give this delightful adventure time, don't be in a hurry. There's also a public bus at the top of you want to go elsewhere.”

“what a suprise, book online through their webpage, saves lining up and getting a ticket when it's busy, was a easy process to scan our tickets on my phone for the family. we purchased up and down. would recommend going for a walk around , there is a few shops not far away from the top, the cable car museum next door (walking steps away) is great, love the history. a spectacular view, wow oh wow, and a short walk for a different view is fantastic. Loved this unique experience we had as a family on our holiday.”

“The wife and I were recently in NZ so we decided to ride the Wellington Cable Car to enjoy the panoramic views of this beautiful city and harbour. Informative museum at the top of the hill which was most interesting. Absolute spectacular views of the surrounding highlands and green tree covered suburb areas of Wellington. Highly recommended and a must to visit and see if your in this part of the north island of NZ.”
