Frequently Asked Questions
Why
do you use public transport for most of your tours?
It
is our belief that the best way to get to know a city in the shortest time is
to see it as the locals do. Wellington has a comprehensive transportation network
across the city, around the harbour and into the suburban areas. It is part of
Wellington's unique charm that you can see it by bus, train and cable car in a
few hours.
It is also an environmentally-friendly
option and we are proud to be a carbon responsible company.
Wild
About Wellington is proud to be the only tour company offering tours using Wellington's
great public services.
What sort
of weather can we expect in Wellington?
Wellington
enjoys a maritime climate which means it can vary from sun and blue skies to high
wind and plenty of rain at other times. We are lovingly called "the windy
city" and yes, it can be true. However, don't be fooled Wellington often
has no wind at all. The saying goes "You can't beat Wellington on a good
day", and it's absolutely true!
We
recommend all tour guests bring a light jacket as a minimum, except during the
summer season when a tee shirt maybe all you need.
When
is the summer season?
Our summer
officially starts on 1 December, but we don't usually expect the best weather
until January. The best month for weather is February.
