THe free bus ride is short no more than 5 to 10 mins and regular to and from Zealandia to the cable car summit. Yes can be done in the afternoon no later than 2 pm bus leaving for Zealandia. If you want to do the full walk in the nature reserve it takes around 50 mins to one hour. If you want to just see the Zealandia museum exhibits 20-30 mins is more than enough.Doing the full walk and museum will around 80 to 90 mins.
