Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
SAMLE Vores rejse starter med at samle alle vores gæster sikkert og komme ombord på vores køretøj. Hvis du kommer ind med krydstogtskib, henter vi dig direkte fra havnen. Du behøver ikke at stige på en shuttlebus eller tage til byen, da vi er akkrediteret til at hente dig, når du går fra skibet. Hvis du bliver hentet på dit hotel, så vent venligst i receptionen eller lige udenfor, hvor du kan blive set af din venlige guide. Sid fast, nogle gange kan trafik (eller mennesker) forsinke vores ankomst. Hvis du bliver hentet fra iSite, så hop ud til busstoppestedet lige uden for/ved siden af iSite. Hold øje med Ka Rawe-skiltningen på køretøjet, og vi ses snart!
Hvilken smuk biograf og masser af historie at gå med denne også. Embassy Theatre ligger i den østlige ende af Courtenay Place i skyggen af Mount Victoria. Den blev sat ind i det internationale filmiske rampelys, da den var vært for verdenspremieren på The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King den 1. december 2003. Næsten 120.000 mennesker stod langs den røde løber langs Courtenay Place for at se optoget af skuespillere og filmskabere da de kom ind i teatret til visningen. Teatret var også vært for de australske premierer på The Fellowship of the Ring og The Two Towers. Teatret holdt en rød løber-visning af Peter Jacksons King Kong i 2005 og verdenspremieren i 2012 på The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Hvad med dette for en udsigt! Tjek det bedste udsigtspunkt i vores smukke by. Betagende 360 graders udsigt over det centrale forretningsdistrikt, havnen og havet mod syd. Forbløffende! Legenden siger, at Wellingtons havn, der oprindeligt var en landlåst sø, var hjemsted for to store og meget aktive taniwha (havmonstre). En taniwha smedede en passage til det åbne hav og skabte indsejlingen til havnen. Den anden, ved navn Whataitai, prøvede en anden rute, blev strandet og døde. Det menes, at Tangi-te keo (Mt Victoria) blev opkaldt efter Whataitais sjæl. Sandsynligvis den bedste fotomulighed på turen, vores guide/vært ville være glad for at være din personlige fotograf for dagen. Hvilken smuk by!
HOBBITS HIDEAWAY Ikke alene er Mount Victoria det bedste udsigtspunkt i Wellington med disse 360 graders udsigter, men hvor den første filmdag fandt sted til Ringenes Herre-trilogien tilbage i 1998. Nogle af de mest ikoniske scener fra trilogien blev filmet her, og din guide vil bruge billeder fra trilogien til at bringe disse scener til live. Gem dig væk fra Black Riders og flyt hurtigt til Buckleberry-færgen, og hvem ved, måske genskaber vi måske bare de scener........Glem ikke, din guide ELSKER at tage billeder for dig. Din guide vil dele masser af insiders viden fravænnet fra træning givet af Ringenes Herre-eksperter og timer, hvis du ser bag kulisserne dokumentarfilm! Kom væk fra roooad!
WETA CAVE Lad dig ikke narre til at tro, at vi er her for at se nogle indfødte New Zealand-insekter tæt på...... Mens Weta er et indfødt new zealand cricket-lignende insekt, er det også navnet på et verdensberømt film- og specialeffektfirma lige her i det lille gamle Wellington! Weta er nok mest berømt for det utrolige arbejde i Ringenes Herre-trilogien, men deres indflydelse på den større industri er meget bredere end som så. Inkluderet i dine omkostninger ved turen, vil du også deltage i de 90 minutter bag kulisserne Weta Cave-oplevelse. Vores guide vil tjekke dig ind for det. Dette er også din chance for at købe nogle memorabilia, se nogle af de genstande, der er udstillet i minimuseet, og du vil endda have en fotomulighed med huletroldene! Hos Ka Rawe laver vores guider også fantastiske fotografer. Når vi forlader Weta Cave, tjekker vi Wellington-skiltet på vores rejser, det er det, vores venner fra Hollywood kopierede!!
Vi tager tilbage til byen omkring bugten, og din guide vil holde dig orienteret, mens vi går. Vi kommer rundt til Oriental Bay kendt for at være både en populær strand og et overdådigt centrum af velstand i byen. Det er lidt dyrt her omkring!. Du vil komme til at se noget fantastisk arkitektur, og måske vil dette være den eneste "menneskeskabte" strand, du nogensinde vil se i dit liv!!? Tjek også Carter Fountain. Oprindeligt opkaldt Duppa Bay efter sin oprindelige eneste beboer George Duppa, blev den omdøbt til Oriental Bay efter en af de første, der bragte bosættere her til Wellington. Spektakulært!
SLIP AF Wow! Forhåbentlig er du enig i, at vi har pakket masser af Wellington-godheder ind i din tid hos os i dag. Men som det gamle ordsprog siger, skal alle gode ting komme til en ende. Vi tilbyder et par forskellige steder, hvor du kan blive sat af, og glem ikke, at Wellington er en meget lille, kompakt by, der er nem at komme rundt i, og du er aldrig for langt fra, hvor du gerne vil være. Vores anbefaling er, at vi dropper dig til Te Papa. Ikke kun er Te Papa New Zealands nationalmuseum, men det er også centralt placeret, uanset hvor din endelige destination måtte være. Hvilken dag ude!

Our driver Sam met us at the port and we enjoyed the scenic ride to the Weta Workshop where we had a little time to browse before our 90 minute tour. Hazel was our enthusiastic and informative guide and we enjoyed the engaging and informative Weta tour. We headed to Mount Victoria where we went for short walks to various Lord of the Rings filming locations. We admired the lovely harbour views too. Our driver kindly dropped us off in Wellington centre where we explored a little before walking along the waterfront back to the port. A lovely day.
Thanks for taking the time to review Ken & it sure sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for visiting & take care 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very informative and fun, great experience overall. Guide very knowledgeable with a lot of insides and flexibility. Highly recommend.
Thanks Artur. You were travelling with Sam who enjoys his LOTR tours 🧙♂️ We appreciate you & see you next time! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This tour touched all the highlights that we wanted to see in the limited time we had available. Nathan was punctual, energetic, friendly, and always attentive to our needs and interests. It was a small group and Nathan seemed like he knew us well in just a few minutes. I would highly suggest this tour and Ka Rawe Tours if you have a limited time in Wellington and a fan of LOTR.
Kia ora! Awesome review, thanks so much. We do like to look after our guests & keep it personal. One of the ways we achieve this is by having smaller groups so thanks for noticing. Carry on being 5 star guests & travel safely 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Easy booking a couple of days before arriving. Could nominate different pick up and drop off locations which made it easy for us as we were coming off a cruise ship. Mini bus was waiting for us just past the cruise line shore tour buses, with a sign displaying our names so took the pain out of trying to organise travelling to these sites on our own. Our guide was great, he explained the locations we drive through to get to the Weta workshop and also on our return. The Weta workshop tour has restrictions for photography due to licensing etc but our workshop guide explained why and when we could film, this was good and avoided any ambiguity. The quality of workmanship is evident and a great success story. The Weta part of the tour is about an hour and a half of standing and walking so if there are mobility issues there are ramps and wooden log seating in the different rooms. We really liked seeing the costumes, how they’re made, and hubby enjoyed trying on the various helmets. After Weta, our tour guide picked us up and took us to Mt Victoria to show us where particular scenes were shot for the Lord of the Rings, this was beautiful natural scenery despite the earlier heavy rains. The smell of pine and background bush while hearing the stories of filming is a great experience. We had the opportunity for photos in the different settings and were very happy we wore runners with good grip as the trail was a bit slippery due to the earlier rains. Guide offered range of drop off options including in town and recommended other interesting activities and sights tailored to the different needs of tour participants. Our tour group had 10 in total, x2 couples and x1 young family with 4 children, and our guide was great in navigating the different needs in the group, thanks Nathan. Highly recommend this tour, excellent value for money and a must-do add to your Wellington list of activities.
Woweeee! Thanks for your detailed review Michele & your 5 stars😁 Love that you've been able to notice all of the ingredients we put into making a great experience for you. Being organized & on time, sharing city sights, showcasing Wellington success stories, our natural beauty & looking after our guests 😍 This doesn't happen by chance, it happens with hosts who care, ongoing support & giving our hosts a platform to share our city. And of course, LOTR is something we're super proud of so what a treat for us to guide you through it. Thanks so much for visiting us & if you can deliver these ingredients yourself, you're welcome back as a tour guide anytime! Ka Rawe! (Which means thats awesome) 5 star guests 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nathan is fantastic, we were picked up in a Nice car, tour with just the 2 of us. Got the view from the top, & visited a LOTR film site! WETA works was fantastic; can’t recommend enough!
What a pleasure to host Rod & Julie around my own home town. Super interesting people from Florida, thanks for sharing your time & knowledge with me. You'd be welcome back anytime & carry on being 5 star guests 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Our small group tour ended up private. Sam was great, took us to some beautiful areas. Wellington is a lovely city
Awesome Darryl! Sam is a great fella & he enjoys hosting good people like yourselves. Glad you had fun & we agree, Wellington is a lovely city! 😎 Travel safe & thanks for being 5 star guests 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We booked this as a surprise for my son-in-law who is a real LOTR fan and we are SO glad we did. What an incredible experience this was. Our Guide (Nathan) went out of his way to make sure we were fully immersed in everything LOTR including unique photo opportunities off the beaten track where we could recreate some really amazing moments from the films. Nothing was too much trouble and Nathan really went the extra mile and even had a bound album of special interest photos which added another dimension as we made our way around the various sites he took us to. On top of this we learnt so much about Wellington itself and even visited some superb vantage sites where the views were just incredible. We learned about where filming and editing took place for the movies and were able to see the many sites that Peter Jackson has acquired in order to produce his fabulous movies. This Tour exceeded all our expectations and we would highly recommend to anyone! The visit through Weta Workshop was the icing on the cake.
Ka Rawe! (Which means that's awesome) Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. We do work hard to bring as much LOTR goodness to our tours as we can & I'm delighted you noticed! 🤩 You guys were fantastic guests & we can't wait to see you next time. Here's your 5 stars as guests 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We had our own personal tour guide who was very personable and a luxury car for comfort. Our guide was very accommodating.
Love that Dawn, thanks for your review. From time to time we treat our guests using our private tour vehicles, glad you enjoyed it! Take care & thanks for being great guests 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Most important Nathan was our guide, truly a knowledgeable, friendly and patient guide. He had a good sense of humor, cared that you enjoy your experience, the tour itself was cool, loved the quaint studio, special effects, videos, demos, hands on. Mt. Victoria special must see view and foliage
Wow! Love this review as it captures lots of things that we like to deliver. Knowledge, warmth, friendliness in addition to a fun tour showing off our LOTR story! Our nature here is one of the stars of the trilogy so thanks for spending time with us. 5 star guests right here! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We had a shuttle service with tour guide. Very informative and we enjoyed each stops such as the exhibition of costumes, swords and special make ups for lord of the rings, visited filmed location of forest, and amazing hill top view of the city.
Love it! Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for your company for the day. Travel safe & see you again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
