Overview

A little bit of something for everyone in this tour, with the highlight being visiting a local car museum. Access to Cars Inc is exclusive to Ka Rawe Tours.

We take a short drive out of the city heading towards the Hutt Valley. On the way, our guide will enlighten & educate you with some information regarding our beautiful region.

We check out some places of interest on the way & before long, we'll be at Cars Inc. From Hummers to pedal cars to American Muscle, there is loads of automotive variety to be found. Be sure to read all the storyboards that go with each vehicle.

Then we head back towards the city to the quaint & historic Jackson Street, Petone. Take a wander past the chocolatier, some fashion stores & other curiosities.

Our final destination is Gear Street Union where you can "rehydrate" & grab a snack if you wish.

Now, we'll take the brief journey back to the city & we'll drop you at one of our designated stops.

You'll have a great time & we look forward to having you.
