Tourist Information About Kapiti Coast

Kāpiti Coast has lots of beautiful and unique places to visit. One of the top spots is Kapiti Island. It’s a protected nature reserve where you can take a guided boat tour, hike through the forest, or stay overnight to look for wild kiwi. Another special place is the Our Lady of Lourdes statue in Paraparaumu. It’s a large Virgin Mary statue that lights up at night and can be seen from far away.

The beaches here are also a big highlight. Waikanae Beach, Peka Peka, and Raumati Beach are great for swimming, long walks, or just relaxing by the sea. Families with kids will enjoy Raumati Marine Gardens, which has a playground, splash pad, and even a miniature train.

You can also explore the small coastal towns like Paekākāriki, Waikanae, Raumati, and Ōtaki. They have local markets, art galleries, cosy cafés, and shops run by local makers.
