Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park

More views, and World War II underground tunnels which are open to the public on public holidays for a small fee.

Another great place to go to get an excellent view of the city, the harbour, and Cook Strait, plus experience the wind! The current turbine was installed in 2016 and is the second on the site; the first was erected in 1993 to test the potential of turning Wellington's infamous wind into electricity.

A predator-proof fence encloses an old water catchment area, forming a mainland island that provides a natural haven for endangered native birds, tuatara, wētā, and other indigenous flora and fauna, safe from introduced predators. By far the most convenient place in the country to see rare New Zealand wildlife.

A 12-km (5- to 6-hr) challenging walk.

An interesting picnic spot.

An historic art deco apartment block.
