Oriental Bay from Wellington Airport (WLG) by private transfer: €50 per car (1–3 people) or €70 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 8 km, roughly 10 min when traffic is light and 10–20 min when it is not.
Meeting point: Your driver waits with a name sign in the ground-floor arrivals area of the main terminal at Wellington Airport: after baggage claim for domestic flights, or as you come out of International Arrivals (near Door E) after customs and biosecurity. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.
Oriental Bay is the city beach on the eastern edge of the CBD, curving along Oriental Parade below Mount Victoria. From the airport the road follows State Highway 1 through the Mount Victoria Tunnel and then cuts across to Courtenay Place and the parade, or runs around the coast via Evans Bay Parade and Point Jerningham. Both routes are short; the coastal option is longer but avoids the tunnel queues at peak times. On sunny summer weekends the parade is busy with walkers, cyclists and cars looking for parking.
Oriental Parade is lined with apartment blocks, Norfolk pines and a sandy beach built from imported sand, with the Carter Fountain floating offshore. At the western end lie Freyberg Pool, the Clyde Quay boat harbour and Clyde Quay Wharf, and from there the waterfront walk leads to Te Papa, the national museum, in about ten minutes on foot. Hotels and holiday flats along the parade have short-stop parking bays, and the steep streets of Roseneath and Mount Victoria climb directly behind. The beach is busiest on warm summer evenings and weekends.
Public transport instead: Metlink bus Airport Express (AX) from Wellington International Airport bus stop (Ground Floor, Door E) to Courtenay Place stop (then a short walk to Oriental Parade), every 10-20 min, 7 days a week. No public transport stops on Oriental Parade itself on the way from the airport; the Airport Express stops at Courtenay Place, a short walk from the bay.
