Kapiti Island is a fully immersive, living wonderland and one of the only places in the world where you can have a North Island Robin at your feet while you have a Kākā on your shoulder. Be still, and wait for the curious birds to come close - without predators, they have no fear and so take it upon themselves to investigate visitors.
There are many stories to tell of the role the island has played in Kāpiti’s rich history. Every visitor to the island receives a warm welcome from the Kapiti Island Nature Tours team. A trip to Kapiti Island is a unique experience that is not to be missed when visiting the Kāpiti Coast.
Kapiti Island Nature Tours are the operator of the ferries to the island and offer day trips, guided tours and overnight kiwi spotting adventures with accommodation included. Beautiful safari-style tents allow guests to enjoy a private, secluded corner of paradise in luxurious glamping accommodation while the onsite cabins, lined with native timber, provide a more traditional stay.
Wander tracks fringed with dense forest, climb the 521m peak for panoramic views and walk along the shoreline on the edge of the Marine Reserve.
