Situated on the south tip of New Zealand's North Island, Wellington Harbor is the largest of its kind. Wellington, New Zealand's main town, is on the west side. Bordered by a line between Pencarrow Head and Petone Forest, the port was formally called Port Nicholson[1] until it was given its present name in 1984.

It is of seamic origins and there is a severe disturbance of the earthquakes on its west bank. Situated at the port's northerly end is the Hutt River's small three-cornered plateau, which largely follows the line of the northeastern convulsion. On this level is the town of Lower Hutt.

Centrally located in the outskirts of the town, the hill overlooks the western and southwestern parts of Wellington Harbour and its two large bays: Nam-joo Lambton Harbour and Evans Bay. Situated in the regained lands of Wellington's main commercial area, Lambton Harbour contains most of the city's docks. The Evans Bay is a bay between Mt Victoria and the Miramar Peninsula, which acts as a flying route to the low-lying Wellington Airport.

There are several small coves to the eastern side of the port, most of which are inhabited by small seaside towns. Entering the port can be very risky, especially as the Cook Strait in the north is notorious. Near the port entry is Barrett Reef, whose cliffs break through the waters at low dide.

One of the major ports in the Lower North Island, Wellington Harbour, the regional council's own Centreport records some 14,000 ship traffic each year. The third biggest harbour in the area is in Wellington City itself[12] and there is a ferry station in Seaview, in Lower Hutt.

The first Wellington port ferry was launched at the end of the nineteenth centuary, and frequent sailings from Wellington to Days Bay are still ongoing today. It is also used by ferryboats between the islands connecting Wellington and Picton. The Great Harbor Way, a hiking and biking trail development program, is gaining speed.
