Owhiro Bay: A Hidden Gem for Breathtaking Views

Getting There

• Bus

  Start your journey at Wellington's central bus terminal, which is located at 81 Coleman Street. From there, take the number 1 (Johnsonville) or number 3 (Karori) bus. Make sure to check the schedule for bus times as they may vary. After boarding, enjoy the scenic ride through the city as you travel towards the southern suburbs. You will need to get off at the 'Owhiro Bay' stop, which is approximately a 30-minute ride from the city center. Once you get off the bus, follow the signs towards Owhiro Bay Beach, which is about a 10-minute walk downhill from the bus stop.

• Walking

  If you prefer to walk, begin at the Wellington Waterfront at Frank Kitts Park. Head south along the waterfront until you reach the intersection with Jervois Quay. Turn left onto Jervois Quay and continue until you reach the intersection with Victoria Street. Turn right onto Victoria Street and follow it as it becomes Ruahine Street. Continue walking straight until you hit the intersection with the well-known 'The Terrace'. From there, follow the signs to Owhiro Bay, which will lead you through the scenic surroundings. This route may take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your walking speed, but it offers beautiful views along the way.

• Ride-sharing

  For a more comfortable and quicker journey, consider using a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft. Open the app while you are in the central Wellington area and set Owhiro Bay as your destination. The driver will pick you up from your location and take you directly to Owhiro Bay. The journey should take around 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Make sure to confirm your driver’s details before getting in.
