Experience an overnight stay on the beautiful Kapiti Island with 2 full days to explore and a guided Kiwi spotting walk at night.
This is the best way to enjoy Kapiti Island. Plenty of time in both parts of the island, which has amazing bird and plant life plus history. The north end is quite different from the middle where most day trippers go, and the hospitality and accommodation was wonderful and generous. We even saw kiwi and more on the night walk. Excellent value for money and an experience that won’t be forgotten! And the weather was perfect.
Other than rough boat trips (due to strong winds), a great experience that we would highly recommend to others.
Amazing island and an incredible 2 days. You are not staying for the modest accommodations -- you are fortunate to visit this special place. The hosts are a friendly, caring family and responsible stewards. The food was excellent and exceeded our expectations for our dietary requests (vegan).
Fantastic experience - Kapiti is a beautiful island with abundant birds and the people from Kapiti Island Nature Tours really made our trip unforgettable. They were so welcoming, caring and knowledgeable. If you are into birds or nature in general, this tour is not to be missed.
Kia ora, Thanks for your review! I'm glad to read that you enjoyed your trip. We think the island is a very special place and it's great to be able to share that with manuhiri (visitors). Ngā mihi, Danielle

Highlight of My Trip
One of the best experiences here in NZ. Pania was very knowledgeable and hospitable, the accommodation was comfortable, the island peaceful, the food more delicious than expected, and most importantly, we managed to see a Kiwi bird!!!
