🦺 Safety First

Flamingo staff will give a short safety briefing before we start, so feel free to join even if you’ve never used an e-scooter before.

🍻 Optional Post-Ride Pub Social – Pay Your Own Way

This is a separate ticket from the ride. If you’re keen, we’ll head to a nearby pub after the ride for a casual social. It’s a great way to wrap up the Friday afternoon, meet other new students, and catch up with current postgraduate students.

We may provide some light food, but all drinks are pay your own way. Please bring a valid ID (passport or NZ driver’s license).

👥 Participant Limit

This scooter tour is limited to 20 participants, but the pub social is flexible (you’re welcome to join just for the social). Registration is required.

🌊 A fun, easy way to explore Wellington’s waterfront, meet new people, and kick off the new trimester together!
