Kapiti Island

Be among the privileged few who cross the ocean barrier to land like ancient interlopers on the rocky shore of the predator-free Kapiti Island. Become captivated by the excitement of rubbing shoulders with takahi and saddlebacks, almost lost forever from these isolated isles. Then leave with not only memories that will last a lifetime but also photographic proof of the continued existence of these extremely rare creatures.
