Kapiti Island Nature Reserve is one of New Zealand's premier conservation sites. It provides a great insight into how New Zealand would have looked before the arrival of mankind.

A 30 minute boat ride whisks you to this unique island where you will enjoy a guided tour and gain a special Maori perspective into the history of the island. A landing permit needs to be obtained for visiting the Kapiti Island Nature Reserve. Visitors arrange their own launch transport using one of the licensed launch services.
