Facts - Just 40 minutes drive from the centre of Wellington, the Kapiti Coast and Kapiti Island provide stunning beaches, glorious sunsets, nature reserves, outdoor adventure activities, crafts and laid back shopping. Kapiti Island itself is 10km long and about 2km wide and is NZ’s only bird sanctuary between the Hauraki Gulf in the north, and the most southern islands. You can visit Kapiti Island by launch, but first need to purchase a permit (these are limited daily) from Department of Conservation (DOC). Meanwhile the Kapiti Coast stretches 40km from Otaki in the north, to Paekakariki in the south. Other Kapiti Coast towns include Waikanae and Paraparaumu – the region’s largest town.
