Kapiti Island is an island bird sanctuary and one of New Zealand’s oldest and most accessible nature reserve. It is home to a number of native birds, including takahe, North Island kokako, brown teal, stitchbird (hihi), North Island saddleback (tieke), tomtit (miromiro), fantail (piwakawaka), morepork (ruru), weka and North Island robin (toutouwai). On this Kapiti Island day trip, you will meet your guide in the morning at Paraparaumu Beach and travel by boat for 20 minutes across the Rauoterangi Channel to Kapiti Island. Here, your guide will give you a short introduction to the island including stories of local Maori history and the Ngati Toa people. From there, the island is yours! You can wander the tracks, spot the birds, walk in absolute serenity, swim in the bay, hear from your guide or just or just sit in solitude. Whales can also often be spotted off the island during their migration. This is a great way to spend your day exploring this incredible nature reserve.

This experience is part of the Responsible range for its continuing efforts in conservation alongside the Department Of Conservation in restoration, planting of native bush on the mainland, beach clean ups and education programs.

Fantastic guides and incredible reserve!

nicky 25 February 2019

Communications were professional and friendly and the whole experience was fantastic thanks the dedication and hard work of a great team of organisers, boat crew and conservation guides. The reserve is amazing, packed with birds and bird song, and the marine reserve is equally diverse and accessible - I can't wait to go back and spend more time there! Thanks so much to Kapiti Eco Experience and Coops and his brilliant team!
