Kāpiti – the bird capital of New Zealand
With 40km of unspoilt beaches sheltered from prevailing westerly winds by Kāpiti Island, to the magnificent, wild landscape of the Tararua Range and Forest Park, Kāpiti’s natural beauty is breath-taking. Easily accessed by car, train or air, and just 35 minutes’ drive from Wellington, it is the perfect place for a relaxing break.
