Rare patrickmoran Posted October 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2019 We will be on a Princess cruise in March. Does Princess run a shuttle from the quay into downtown Wellington? Does the port or city? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted October 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm not sure who runs it, I think it's the city. Due to earthquake damage the cruise wharf entrance has been moved and you cannot walk off the wharf anymore. The shuttles are free and stop at two places: in Lambton Quay close to the Beehive, and in Wakefield St near the iSite information centre and close to the Te Papa museum.

Barwick Cruiser Posted October 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Can you get on the shuttle at LQ and ride it to Te Papa? We were planning to take it to LQ from the ship, do the cable car and then ride the shuttle to Te Papa and visit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted October 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) The cable car is almost halfway between the two stops so if you're just going straight up and down on the cable car you might as well just walk to Te Papa. If you cut straight down to the waterfront, down Grey St and across to Queens Wharf, it's a lovely walk and all flat walking.

We are hoping, if the weather cooperates, to walk down from the top of the cable car through the Botanical Gardens so where that exits it looks farther than from the base of the car? Otherwise, yes, it'd probably be better to just walk to Te Papa. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted October 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2019 In that case you could probably then take the shuttle to the next stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roothy123 Posted October 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I found the map on the Welly Cable Car sight helpful. It shows where the cruise shuttle stops, and where the cable car is, plus Parliament Buildings, iSITE visitor information center, etc. I'm assuming the cruise shuttle stop is accurate - on Brandon St. off Lambton Quay, which is the name of a street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
