The route includes stops at Oriental Bay to see historic houses and the Band Rotunda area, and the Carter Fountain, a memorial donated by Hugh Carter. At Mount Victoria, there is a short climb up 30 steps to overlook the city and harbour. The tour then stops at Weta Cave for about 20 minutes to view local cave sculptures and learn about the film studio; paid tours of the studio are available separately. Along the coastal drive, the group passes Shelly Bay and visits Red Rocks Reserve and the Te Kopahou visitor centre. The tour continues to Wellington Wind Turbine for views from the west and to see one of the 60+ turbines that supply 90% of the city's electricity. Included is a one-way ride on the Wellington Cable Car to the top, with skip-the-line access and admission to the Cable Car museum. A walk through Lady Norwood Rose Garden follows before a stop at the New Zealand Parliament building for photos near the King Dick statue. The tour ends back at the Wellington iSite.
