The most beautiful natural sites to discover Wellington

It's a 45-minute walk to the summit. The trail is well-maintained and easy to follow, with plenty of stairs to test your calves! From up here, the view of the city and its bay is spectacular. On the other side of the slope, there's a magnificent view of the wind farm populating the nearby hills. On a clear day, you can even see the South Island across the Cook Strait. Mount Kaukau is VERY exposed to the wind, so if it's blowing down below, expect to be seriously tousled at the top.
