Suggested Itineraries

The Hutt Valley is just 15 minutes drive north of Wellington City. Far more than just a nature gateway, the Hutt Valley offers cultural attractions that are unique to the region, upmarket seaside communities and great shopping. Discover inspiring local stories of innovation, passion and creativity at one of the Hutt Valley's key attractions, or explore the network of trails through surrounding native forests. Come and visit the gateway to the scenic Hutt River, that feeds the harbour and provides access to the mountains that surround Wellington.
