Kapiti Island Alive
Living Kapiti IslandA new name and enhanced visions for Kapiti Island Alive
Today Kapiti Island Alive has renamed Kapiti Island Natural Tours to better mirror its activity and location in the area. This new name and website are aimed at capturing more of the global and domestic markets and also expressing the goals of the Kaitiaki O Kapiti Trust, (Friends of Kapiti).
At the moment the Trust conducts the yearly Tau Mai e Kapiti Maori Writers' Research and Waitangi Year Celebrations. It is located in Waiorua Bay at the northern end of the island and is run by John and Susan Barrett and Amo Clark, with Amo's subsidiary Minnie Clarke managing much of the daily work.
It also offers natural and historical trips, overnight kiwi spots, choir weekends at dusk and other sea and terrestrial outings.

Excursion 3-8: Visiting Kapiti Island and Kapiti Marine Reserve is an excellent way for your pupils to explore a secluded area. The Kapiti is one of New Zealand's most precious wildlife sanctuaries and the only large bird reserve between the Hauraki Gulf in the northern and southerly suburbs.
The Kapiti Marine Reserve is 30 kilometers from Wellington Town and is situated between the Paraparaumu and Waikanae and Kapiti Island sands. For your stay you need a permission to land, a take-off reservation and transportation to and from Kapiti Boating Club, Paraparaumu Beach. Designed to help educators provide an interesting and fun way to learn outdoors on Kapiti Island.
There are a number of proposed extracurricular events to encourage pupils to learn actively on the basis of what they meet during their time there. Kapiti Island and Kapiti Marines Reserve is an excellent way for your pupils to enjoy the outdoors. Throughout your stay you can see endangered fish, explore a sanctuary and listen to bizarre New Zealand flora and fauna such as the bats running with their leaves or a mushroom that feeds on mice.
