If there’s one thing we’re sure of, it’s that the New Zealand fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down! From morning ‘til night, your Wild Kiwi trip is going to be an adventure of a lifetime. Here are just a few things you can look forward to during your time in Wellington.


Eat and drink in New Zealand - Munch some wholesome grub

Delicious Dinner

There’s a saying that when in Wellington you’ll never go hungry, and let’s just say they’re not lying. The laneways are full of incredible restaurants and eateries, with Pomodoro’s pizzas and Shepherd’s menu full of refined comfort food. These are perfect places to bond with your travel buddies!

Classy Cocktails

There’s something about settling into an evening of classy cocktails with your new travel pals. And, we’re pretty sure you’ll be spoilt for choice. Check out Ancestral’s stunning garden, Foxglove’s unbeatable harbour views and the quirkiness of Cuckoo Cocktail Emporium.

Hit The Dancefloor On Your Wild Kiwi Adventure

If you’re wanting to let your hair down, Wellington’s nightlife will not disappoint. Electric Avenue is famous for playlists filled with endless bangers from the 80s and 90s. Valhalla often hosts live bands, Red Square maintains its party atmosphere well into the early hours, and Basement is the go-to place to connect with fellow road trippers. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little out there, Dakota has an actual bucking bronco which, let’s be honest, will always make for a hilarious night out!

Fancy A Chuckle?

The Fringe Bar and VKs Comedy and Blues Bar host a variety of both local and international comedians, so if you fancy filling your evening with lots of laughter, you know exactly where to go!
