Highlights
  • Wellington - After picking up our guests, we head out of the city to the Hutt Valley. Upper Hutt, a part of the Hutt Valley, is often likened to the “Detroit” of Wellington!
  • NZCIS Conference Centre - Drive by the newest and most advanced sports facilities. Open for less than a year, it’s home to our professional rugby and football teams. When the mighty All Blacks are in town, this is where they stay!
  • Trentham - We pass by the Trentham Military Camp and discuss a bit about its history.
  • Upper Hutt - Learn a bit about the history of Rimutaka Prison. Apologies in advance, we can’t drop off any husbands or wives there!
  • Cars Inc Museum & Cafe - Exclusive to Ka Rawe tours, we’ll head out of town to explore some of the finest motorcars and automotive history at Cars Inc in Upper Hutt. We’ll also get to sample some of New Zealand’s finest beverages. What a fantastic experience!
  • Jackson Street Programme - Take a leisurely stroll down Jackson Street in Petone and enjoy some shopping. There’s something for everyone, including chocolate, beer, and fashion!
