Overview

This overnight tour on Kapiti Island offers a chance to stay on the predator-free bird and nature sanctuary located just off the Kapiti Coast near Wellington. The experience lasts around 48 hours and includes return ferry transport from Paraparaumu Beach to the island. Upon arrival, a local guide provides an introductory talk about the island’s wildlife and environment. Guests can explore several walking trails to observe native birds in their natural habitat. In the evening, the operator provides drinks and nibbles followed by a meal prepared by a chef. After dinner, there is a guided night walk to look for nocturnal wildlife such as ruru, korora, and kiwi pukupuku, giving an opportunity to hear and see the island’s animals after dark. The overnight stay includes a choice of accommodation: cabin, tent, or ensuite, each priced separately. The following day features breakfast and lunch before returning by ferry. All Department of Conservation permits and entry fees to Kapiti Island are included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided, and gratuities are optional. Participants must contact the operator between 7:00 and 7:15 AM on the tour day to confirm check-in time and tour status.
