  • If you live in Kapiti region you need to do the trip to Kapiti Island, The island is steeped in history and shows what can be done with time and hard work to turn back the clock to what New Zealand looked like in the past.
  • Beautiful island to visit. You hardly have to look for the birds on the island, they are all around you. The bush walks on the island are very nice and are always accompanied by the cheerful chirps of the birds that you have just been educated about. Kapiti island is a great place to take your family for the day. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.
