We were lucky enough to travel as a group with Kapiti Island Eco to Kapiti Island. The experience is exceptional. Coops and the team are great hosts, informative and ensure things run smoothly. The trip across was a great experience in itself. The beach landing at Kapiti Island is fun and you do not even get your feet wet. Then you get to the real star of the show, Kapiti Island. Like stepping back in time you are surrounded with native bush and rich bird life like it was hundreds of years ago. The walk up to the bird feeders is worth it with a concentration of native birds like you will never have experienced before. Do not hesitate if you get the chance to experience this very special place.

The actually island tour was amazing, we saw birds in their natural habitat and had a fantastic time walking up to the top of Kapiti island. The lady that talked to us before the tour was amazing, entertaining and also knowledgeable. The reason for the 3 stars was the transport, we understood the rocky journey as it's a boat, but their was a very strong smell of fuel the whole time there and back. I wanted to warn other people so they know what to except. We wore masks on the way back and this filtered it a little bit. The fresh air helps after the boat ride to feel better but it left us feeling very unwell.
Friendly, engaging and professional and passionate. From boot cleaning to pest checking our bags to safe travel across to the island and into the knowledgeable hands of Robert, our guide. Robert was constantly vigilant to spotting bird life and I got to see my first takahe on the way back to the boat. Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our experience.
Fantastic trip to the island starting with a fun boat ride. Our guide was great and started with an entertaining and interesting talk before letting us loose to explore. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about ecology, birds and NZ history, you just can't help but absorb his enthusiasm too. It was really so amazing to see so many native birds in one place. Like nothing I've ever experienced, it's like traveling through time back to NZ in the 1800's. We took the 5 hour trip plus a guided tour, but could have spent much longer out there. Definitely recommend walking to the summit, the views are incredible. Would also recommend going for a snorkel too once you get back down. I will do this tour again, for sure. Thanks a lot to the staff at KIE for a great day out.
I recently took a trip to Kapiti Island using Kapiti Island Eco and could not be more happier with the experience. Booking was done online with a follow up email and then a text the evening before we went advising that the weather was ideal for the trip. Communication was great for the entire experience. Check in at the boat launch was simple and quick as was the boarding of the boat and getting off on the island. I thoroughly recommend Kapiti Island Eco for a visit to the marvelous island that Kapiti is.
We had such an awesome time on Kapiti island. Coops and Cindy were great and gave us some good history on the island too. We even saw a dolphin on the boat ride back! There is so many beautiful rare native birds in one place was such an amazing sight, and walking to the summit made for some spectacular views too! 100% recommend, can't wait to come back!
Great day out. Awesome customer service. Coops and Robert are so knowledgeable and professional. Saw dolphins going across and the bird life is magical. The view from the top is well worth the trek up. Highly recommend.
