If you don’t have time to stay with us overnight, this is the package we recommend for our manuhiri:
Return ferry transport across the Kapiti Marine Reserve
Department of Conservation permit
Introduction briefing
Walk with an experienced nature guide
Full buffet lunch at our lodge
Team up with our guides to uncover the wonders of Kapiti Island and Waiorua Bay. They’re here to share a wealth of vital knowledge and valuable insights with you. Our people are the ambassadors of Kapiti Island–sharing the manaakitanga of our whanau, helping you to identify the calls you hear, and identifying the wildlife you see along your journey. You’ll also learn about the role we all play in balancing our commitment to conservation, ecology, and human history.
After some free exploration, we’ll meet again for lunch. Share stories with your fellow travellers and fresh insights with your guides. Adventures like these build up big appetites, so our chefs are ready with a full, fresh buffet for you.
After lunch, sneak away with our guides for some more bird-spotting, or sit out on the deck and fend off the overly-friendly kaka.
Only 25 manuhiri a day can experience this tour, and we really think you should be one of them.
