Overview

Well if your expectations are high for this tour, we fully expect to meet them! We start in the city but head on up to the beautiful Kapiti Coast. Our guide will provide some running commentary as you go & please feel free to ask all & any questions. Southwards Car Museum is truly world class. Over 2 levels of automotive history all for your viewing pleasure. Now whilst it would be easy to spend hours here, we have other things we can't wait to share with you! We head to the Hutt Valley to Cars Inc to view a private collection of machinery. Exclusive to Ka Rawe tours, grab yourself a coffee & a snack whilst you're here before checking out this totally unique collection. Then we'll take a detour to Petone, the location of the original settlers. Take a leisurely stroll up quaint Jackson Street as you make your way to Gear Street Union. We'll grab a seat & you'll get to sample some of NZ's finest beverages. Of course, alcohol is only for those over 18 years of age. What a day out!

Itinerary

  • Wellington

    COLLECT Our journey starts by safely collecting all of our guests & getting onboard our vehicle. If you are coming in by cruise ship, we will collect you directly from the port. You do not need to get on a shuttle bus or head to the city as we are accredited to collect you as you walk off the ship. If you are being collected from your hotel then please wait in reception or just outside where you can been seen by your friendly guide. Sit tight, sometimes traffic (or people) can delay our arrival. If you are being collected from the iSite then pop out to the tour bus stop just outside/beside the iSite. Keep an eye out for Ka Rawe signage on the vehicle & we'll see you soon. Once we're all onboard we take a leisurely 30 min ride out to the beautiful Kapiti Coast in our air conditioned vehicle. Your driver/guide will share insights & facts about New Zealand & Wellington as you travel.

  • US Marine Memorial in New Zealand

    Travelling along our brand new motorway called Transmission Gully, we then take a quick stop during our journey to visit a memorial to the Marine Camp based in Paekakariki during World War 2. Paekākāriki served as a major base for American Marines fighting in the Pacific Campaign. The first Marines arrived in Wellington to a tremendous welcome on 4 June 1942. After berthing at Aotea Quay, equipment was sorted and a parade quickly organised before the trip to the camps at Mackays Crossing. Part of the memorial is a hut that is displayed in such a way to replicate one of the huts that existed during this campaign. Your guide will help bring this memorial to life by sharing imagery from the camp.

  • Southward Car Museum

    Wow. Just wow. Tucked away amongst park-like surroundings on the Kāpiti Coast is a world-class museum. It is the legacy of a vehicle-loving man. Inside the purpose-built exhibition hall, chrome and steel glints in every direction. Here is a remarkable private car collection, the largest in Australasia. Southward Car Museum is the result of one man’s vision. Sir Len Southward was a pioneering marine engineer. He, along with his wife Vera, began collecting cars in the 1950s & by the mid-1970s his collection had grown to such an extent that purchasing a building was necessary. The museum houses more than 450 rare and treasured vehicles. You’ll find an 1895 Benz Velo & a 1915 Stutz Indianapolis race car. Discover the 1934 Cadillac that was once owned by American actress Marlene Dietrich & locate the four-tonne, 1950 “gangster special” Cadillac complete with genuine bullet holes, owned by gangster Mickey Cohen. The only downside is that we can't stay here for hours!

    1 hour 15 minutes

  • Upper Hutt

    TRANSIT We say farewell to the beautiful Kapiti Coast as we get back on the Transmission Gully motorway & head towards the suburb of Upper Hutt. Upper Hutt has previously been referred to as the "Detroit" of Wellington with many solid, working class people residing here. It also happens to be home to Cars Inc, a new car enthusiasts venue that showcases his passion for all things Automotive.

    30 minutes

  • Cars Inc Museum & Cafe

    Check this place out.... After years of planning, Paul & Jen are now proud to bring to you a Car Museum called “CARS INC”. The Site for the Museum is adjacent to the old GM Car Plant in Trentham, Upper Hutt, which was the spiritual home for a huge number of the Cars that were on the NZ roads in the 50's, 60’s and 70's. Our aim is to provide visitors with the opportunity to see vehicles of special interest or, in other words, “Mobile pieces of Art”. The Museum is open to the public and has on display a wide range of vehicles encompassing Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Modern Classics, Circuit Cars, Drag Cars and Motorbikes, along with Auto Memorabilia. We also look for Automotive Memorabilia and related collections to put on display. Another great jewel in Wellington & visiting here with your tour group is exclusive to Ka Rawe Tours!

    1 hour 15 minutes

  • Jackson Street Programme

    30 minutes

  • Petone

    Well you deserve something to eat I drink I reckon! After experiencing the quaintness of Jackson Street Petone, you'll find your way to Gear Street Union on Gear Street.
