Highlights
- Kapiti Island is a world-renowned nature reserve less than an hour north of Wellington. It’s home to an abundance of native and endangered species like Little Spotted Kiwi, Takahe, and the cheeky Kaka.
- Grab the first option and a day trip to this unique island with the whanau who have lived there for 200 years. Visit either Rangatira in the middle of the island where you can climb to the highest peak, or Waiorua at the North End for a more moderate walk.
- Or with the second option you can experience the full richness and wonder of Kapiti Island with a day tour to Kapiti Island Nature Lodge at Waiorua Bay at the North End of the island. Enjoy a delicious cooked buffet lunch at the Lodge, as well as a 1-hour guided walk with an experienced nature guide.
- On the ferry ride over you may spot seals, pods of dolphins and orca whales swimming in the waters of the Rau-o-Te-Rangi channel.
