252 steps to the top of Cape Palliser Lighthouse.

It's a nice climb to the top, where there you will be treated with spectacular views of the cape and the lighthouse. The drive there is not far from Wellington CBD, about 2 hours. It's a beautiful drive along the coast. Just before the road end at the lighthouse, to the right, you will see the seal colony.

Do bring a jacket, as it can get quite windy up there. I had issues with the wind as I was taking photos. But that is all part of landscape photography. 🙂

Check out the final photo and vlog on my YouTube channel.

Today we travel to Cape Palliser and climb 252 sets to see the view from the top. It's a bit out of the way, but it's a must-see. The view from the top is AMAZING! It's the Southernmost point of the North Island of New Zealand. Visit Cape Palliser Lighthouse.
