The overnight adventure at Kapiti Island is amazing. It is a unique experience, nothing like you will ever experience anywhere else in New Zealand. During the day, we learnt about the unique Flora and Fauna on the Southern part of the island, where we had the possibility to walk to the summit of the island and enjoy a majestic view. We learnt how to identify multiple plants on the island, and even found some 'Bushy Asparagus', yummy! We also learnt about the unique Whanau history of the island. On the northern part of the island, we were welcomed by Manaaki, a descendant of the Maori tribe 'Nga Toa', who took over the island in the 1800's and still own a part of the island. Manaaki made us feel at home straight away. The Whanau prepared such tasty meals for us during our stay, and you will never get bored as there is so much to do and to see. We stayed at the Cabin which was very clean and cozy. From the deck, we got to hear and see plenty of birds, including the Dinosaur looking Takahe! After Dusk, we went on a night tour to listen and spot the amazing wildlife that awakens during the night. We got to see the Ruru (Morepork) from up close, and heard the kiwi birds calling all around us. You really get a feel of how New Zealand must have been and sounded like to the first ever settlers. Totally worth the money. This experience gives you a memory that you will never forget!

Our guide Tim was great. Good lunch at lodge after long hike to viewpoint on west side of island. Saw and heard different songbirds. Didn't see kiwi, just their burrows.
I think one would be lucky to see a wild kiwi anywhere in New Zealand, unless at night.
Saw some of the other big flightless bird, the weke, on the trail and scrounging around the lodge. Glad we had breakfast in Wellington before we left, because those who didn't were clearly rushed to get it down before departure for the island.
Overall, a day well-spent.

The trip to the island was amazing , the bird life was astounding and the birdsong !! Plus seeing all the beautiful forest and birds like HIhi and Takehe. We stayed overnight at Wairoa bay and Pania and the family made us feel so welcome and looked after- it was wonderful in such an impersonal world to feel such genuine hospitality!!! We didn’t see a kiwi but the penguins and Morepork were cute on the night tour !! It’s amazing that the island is really only an hour from Wellington - as it truly feels like you are worlds away

Spent the day on Kapiti Island exploring and watching all the native birds. Did the walk upto the summit its 3.8km uphill and of course 3.8km downhill, you need a certain level of fitness to complete this. There are also 2 lower walks which are suitable for most ages, had lovely day on the island, well worth the visit.

Nous sommes allés passer 2 jours sur l'île logés dans le seul hébergement tenu par une famille maorie. Séjour exceptionnel; logés en glamping au milieu des oiseaux (séjour ornithologique en Nouvelle-Zélande), nourriture de qualité, sortie nocturne à la recherche des kiwis, balades de rêv.e... Il faudrait y passer une semaine !

just tried and got an overnight package. Kapiti is the only place i would leave everything behind to help to save some treasures of our planet. But the people, specially the girls do already the best to do it for the rest of the world. Unforgettable to spot a kiwi, the cottage was basic but wonderful, tropical sounds, wonderful vegetation around, go up to the hill the view is breathtaking, you meet all birds you want to see, an imagination of NZ how it could be, if the rest of the country would be poison- and pest-free. Thank you!!!

Only a limited number of people are allowed on the Island per day. You have to catch a boat from the Kapiti Boat Club and takes around 15-20 minutes to get to the predator free island (you have about 6 hrs on the island). There are 2 landing options (centre of the island or the north end). There are 2 walks at the north end of the island, of which the coastal route is closed Oct to Mar due to nesting birds. The other walk is approx 4.5k's (takes around 2-2.5 hrs). and goes to a lookout at around 200 metres above sea level. There is a half an hour talk by a local advising of which birds you're likely to see. There is also a lodge where you can relax or get out of the rain. We saw a lot of Weka's and wood pigeons, for kiwi's you will have to stay overnight as they only come out at night.

I'm one of the lucky ones - when I stand on my deck and face north I can see the top half of "our" island. We make a point of touching base with it at least once a year.
Every time we go the trees seem bigger, the birds louder and cheekier, the check-in talk more informative (even after so many trips)
We've even been fortunate enough to take part in the inaugural snorkelling event which took place in February 18.
We are so lucky to have this place right on our doorstep - something we should never take for granted.

Good day, what is the best way to get to the Kapiti boat club where our tour starts on the 20th of June from Wellington?
Scritta in data 6 giugno 2019
Do you visit only one part of the island on the day trip (middle or north rather than both)? If so, do you get to choose the area you want to visit, and which would you recommend visiting for hearing and possibly seeing kokako and maybe even saddlebacks?
Scritta in data 9 maggio 2018
Kia ora
If your visit is strongly species focused, our recommendation is to visit Rangatira(Middle) Island landing. This will definitely enhance your prospects for Kokako, Saddleback & Stitchbird.
Timing is important for Kapiti Island- recent history suggests Jan/Feb Mar is likely to be more successful.
Trusting this is helpful.

Can I go there on my own? (without booking a tour?)

Kia ora hummernator,
The Western side of Kapiti Island has steep cliffs, however the ferry lands on the Eastern side of the island where the walking tracks are mostly through NZ native bush rather than cliffs. Looking at Google images of the Skomer & Staffa Islands the tracks on Kapiti Island look more similar to those on Skomer. Please be aware that getting great value and enjoyment from visiting Kapiti Island does not require strenuous hiking. Most of our highly sought species are obtainable at the lower levels of the public walks.
Nga mihi,
John

Do you have to climb up cliffs? (UK visitors: I was able to make it up the cliff at Skomer Island, but couldn't take Staffa). My husband was able to do both. My problem is with vertigo, not climbing.
