“The captain looks back & moves on.”
The famous explorer James Cook (Tom Clarke) is in a reflective mood two hundred and fifty years after his death. Join him for a walking tour of significant historical sites around Wellington’s Waterfront.
Based on Barbarian’s award-winning live walking tour experience, this site-specific, historically accurate and contemporarily contextualised tour has Cook ‘thinking again’ about his contribution to Aotearoa New Zealand’s history.
A fun and accessible opportunity for tourists and locals alike to reflect on the effect and legacy of colonisation.
You can access Cook Thinks Again walking tour experiences for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland or Te Whanganui A Tara Wellington on our Cook Thinks Again App, available on Apple or Android smartphones or tablets.
