Welcome to Kapiti

The insider's travel guide to Kapiti

Off the coast of the Kapiti Coast is Kapiti Island, a wildlife reserve.

Guided tours ferry visitors over to the island from Paraparaumu Beach, where many varieties of native coastal and forest birds live, such as shags, gulls, tuis, kaka, and kereru. The view from the top of the 518m peak is worth the hike up.

With just four million people spread over two main islands, nature and dramatic scenery rules in New Zealand.From the high Southern Alps that run the length of the South Island to the volcanic peaks of the North Island, the watery passages of the Marlborough Sounds and Fiordland to the geothermal activity of the central North Island, the golden sands of Northland beaches to the black sands of the west coast of both islands – there’s a lot to see on a self-drive route through New Zealand.
