Richard's Bass Bag Tours - available Wellington Regional tours for November 2025.

 

One of our very popular buses, 
though we also offer the Nissan
Note option.

With the talking Japanese lady.

Here are a variety of tours that you can choose from:

• "Born in the East tour." This tour, which leaves from Wellington city, takes you via Petone to the very popular suburb of Eastbourne. To be honest, there isn't a lot to see there but we promise to go nowhere near Moera.
• "Eastbourne Heights." Ever wondered where the girls are smarter? Well, you'll find out on this tour of Wainuiomata. You'll see the fire station, the Woolworths supermarket, McDonald's and Mitre 10. We'll also drive past the summer swimming pool and the bowling club. 
• "Up a slut." Not too long before you get to the Remutaka hill, you'll arrive at Upper Hutt. Okay, okay, for a centre to be named Upper Hutt, there obviously needs to be a Lower Hutt too. Our advice is to take the motorway (SH2) and avoid this lowly addition to the Wellington region.
• "A drive around the bays." We're talking about the bays near Wellington city here. That part that goes around beneath the old prison (Mount Crawford) is a bit boring, but the tour does include a drive up to the Mount Victoria lookout. Don't worry, neither of these 'mount' destinations are actually mountains. Their just hills.
• "A trip to Karori and Northland." Quite frankly, we'd suggest that you give this one a miss. Unless, of course, if your passion is going through old tunnels. There really isn't much else to see.
• "A tour of the places where Peter McDonald has lived." You're going to want your money back after this one! Though, to be honest, it is our cheapest tour. AND you get to search for golf balls at the Berhampore Golf Club. 
• "To see the brandy that is made in the wire wrapper." Actually, on this tour, you'll see more wine than brandy. It takes in the vineyards of Martinborough. If you know about wines and people in the trade, you'll have heard of the Watch, Wallet and Testicles Vineyard. It's basically a tour of the Wire Wrapper Wairarapa.
• "You tell us where you'd like us to go." (no rude replies please) Tell us what you'd like to see and we'll take you there.

We look forward to hearing from you.
