Wellington Peaks and Viewpoints

Wellington’s dramatic topography, shaped by tectonic activity, offers a diverse array of elevated vantage points. This collection spans the region’s geography, from the 196-meter summit of Mount Victoria and the historic Kelburn cable car terminus to the rugged Wairarapa coastline. Highlights include the geological earth pillars of the Putangirua Pinnacles, WWII coastal defense ruins on the South Coast, and panoramic views of the Cook Strait from the Tararua and Aorangi Ranges.
