"What a great experience, young and old. The view is priceless and it's so much fun. We used it as an attraction but see there are a lot of people using it for daily work and back. Pricing is affordable, a must do when in Wellington"
"Great to ride cable car again. Brings back childhood memories of riding on the outside seats. Can't do that with the new cars. These days we need to be protected from everything. Loved the lighting in the tunnels. My Granddaughter loved it. Quite an experience for her."
"Great place to walk around and have some good fresh breeze of air. There is a lot of place to explore within the botanical gardens. The cable car is a one time experience, even though a small trip. Its a big wonder that they were able to have a cable car from many decades. The view of the city of wellington is great from the cable car with tunnels lighten up."
"Quick and comfortable, less than 5 minute wait for the tram each time. Cheap if you have a Snapper card, even without the price is reasonable. Gorgeous views both from the tram and from the station at the top. Lovely sightseeing place, with easy access to the Botanical Gardens from the top."
