Bird-Watching in New Zealand: Kiwi Spotting Tour on Kapiti Island

Overnight Kiwi Spotting Tour

Take an overnight kiwi spotting tour on Kapiti Island to spot the nocturnal little spotted kiwi.


Overview
Kapiti Island is an internationally renowned sanctuary for some of the most exotic and endangered native birds, flora and fauna of New Zealand. It is also home to the world's largest population of little spotted kiwi.

Kapiti Island Lodge on this small island offers birders a magical and rare opportunity to experience free contact with an unsurpassed range of New Zealand native and endemic flora and fauna Enjoy a guided day walk on Kapiti Island and revel in the beauty of this sanctuary. The closed sanctuary is managed by the Department of Conservation and is a 15 minute boat ride off the Paraparaumu (pronounced 'pah-ra-pah-ra-oo-moo') beach.

Since the birds on the island have no natural predators, they are not afraid of visitors, and if you're lucky, you will most likely be able to spot quite a large variety of birds.
