Your half day getaway begins with a scenic drive north from Wellington, stopping at Pukekura Bay for breathtaking views of Kapiti Island and the coast. Cruising through Raumati, you’ll follow the shoreline to Paraparaumu Beach, where we’ll pause for a quick refreshment. The laid-back coastal vibe is perfect for a relaxing mid-morning or afternoon escape.
Next, explore the Southwards Car Museum, home to a world-class collection of vintage and rare automobiles. Before returning to Wellington, you’ll have a choice between a visit to the Tuatara Beer factory or the local chocolate factory—tailored to your taste.
