A unique insight into the Kāpiti Coast
A day trip north on State Highway 1 through the Kāpiti Coast offers stunning scenery overlooking Kāpiti Island nature reserve, 40 kms of unspoilt beaches, historic sites, quirky seaside towns and a thriving arts and foodie scene.
We will communicate with you about your interests and tailor your tour to ensure we make the most of your group’s time on the Kāpiti Coast.
Your day can be a mix of enjoying the natural unspoilt beauty of Kāpiti, exploring deserted sandy and rocky beaches, wandering happily amongst the local birds, plus enjoying fabulous art and food experiences at a relaxed pace.
“Suzee was great! Very knowledgeable about the history of Wellington as one would expect, but Suzee had the back stories and more.
I have some mobility issues and Suzee always found the best parking, even at the busiest parking lots! My wife and I learned more in one tour with Suzee than we have experienced with multiple guides in other cities!
Always very concerned about health and safety, just a delightful bundle of EVERYTHING! Try her – the best of all worlds.”

“Wow!! Great guides!! My husband and I had booked the Half Day tour of Wellington several months earlier. Jo met us and showed us around her beautiful city. She had local chocolates and soft drinks ready for us. When we again found ourselves in Wellington I contacted Jo and asked her if she was available on the NEXT day!! She was not, but Suzee was.
Suzee showed us just exactly what we wanted to see…country life, daily life! We had lunch at a great local fish & chips place…not another cruiser in sight – a plus! I can highly recommend tours with either of these great ladies! Thanks, Jo and Suzee!! Until next time!!”
