✨ What to Expect ✨

Experience one of Wellington’s most iconic walks on this easy, flat track that takes you from Owhiro Bay Quarry along the coast, past historic baches, and out to the seals at Sinclair Head.

Keep an eye out as these friendly seals rest by the rocks—but remember to give them space!

The trail is perfect for walkers of all levels, with stunning coastal scenery and plenty of photo opportunities.

If you're feeling up to it, join us for a relaxed coffee or brunch afterwards.

🤩 WHO THIS IS FOR?

Anyone in Wellington, any gender, aged 20-50, who wants to make new friends!

We get people who are new to Wellington, locals who feel like their old friends are on a different path to them, extroverts who are social butterflies, introverts who are getting out of their comfort zone, people who already have friends but just want to meet new people and have variety in their friendship circle, or people who just love a good convo over some good food!

📍 WHERE IS IT?

We host our Brunches in cool Cafés across central Wellington. We only reveal the location to ticket holders. This is to ensure we only get confirmed attendees.

------------------------------------------------------------

FAQs:

📌 Q: Can I come alone?
A: Absolutely! In fact, people come to this brunch by themselves; everyone is in the same boat so it's a very warm and welcoming environment.

📌 Q: What if I'm super nervous?
A: Being nervous is a completely normal part of this - it means you’re human and that you care about making friends! I can guarantee you, everyone is feeling nervous, so if you go up to anyone and introduce yourself, they’ll be just as relieved to have found a new friend.

We promise everyone is so lovely at these events and your nerves will melt away so fast once you arrive!

📌 Q: Why there is a fee to attend? I thought Meetups are free.
