About this activity
Make your own way to Wellington Central Train Station to board your train and set out along the beautiful Kapiti Coast. Soak up the scenery along the way, as you pass through New Zealand's longest train tunnel and climb the hills overlooking Pukerua Bay.
On arrival at Paraparaumu station, a representative will meet you and transfer you to the helipad for your helicopter ride. After listening to the safety briefing, jump aboard and take off on a thrilling 15-minute flight along the coast. Listen to your pilot's on-board commentary as you soar over Kapiti Island and the Inner Islands, and marvel at the spectacular aerial views.
Touchdown at the Southwards Car Museum, the largest and most comprehensive car museum in the Southern Hemisphere. Use your pre-paid tickets to gain entrance and enjoy around 90 minutes to explore the museum independently. The world-class collection now features more than 400 cars, motorbikes, planes, and other vehicles - there's even a vintage fire engine! There's also a cafe and restaurant on-site.
When you've seen all you can see at Southward Car Museum, you will be transferred to the tasting room at Tuatara Brewing Company for beer and cheese tasting. All the beer is brewed right on the Kapiti Coast, and each beer is matched with a cheese from Kapiti Cheeses to round off the local experience.
Once you have sampled a few beers, then maybe a few more, you will be transferred back to the train station for your return journey to Wellington.
