It was a rainy day but the experience remained stunning. We saw far more birds than we expected, though spotted kiwis are difficult to find —we didn’t see any. Our guide was very interesting, making the experience even more enjoyable. I recommend bringing good hiking boots to fully appreciate the trip, as one of the path to the top is steep and requires good grip. However, we saw more birds at the bottom of the island, so hiking up is not strictly necessary.
Enjoyed the intro to the day.
We loved our Kapiti Island trip. It sure helped that the weather was perfect. Had a very interesting orientation on arrival, plenty of time to explore and enjoy a swim. Heard and saw lots of beautiful birds.
My daughter and I had an incredible day on Kapiti Island. It was really special to share this experience together. The Island is a nature paradise teaming with bird life. The absolute highlight was seeing a pair of Takahe stroll past us. Our host was super friendly and welcoming. The welcome included information about the history of the Island and the birds that live there. Would highly recommend this as an excursion, my only regret is that I forgot to pack snorkel gear to explore the marine reserve around the Island.
