Play the game. Drive the journey.
In Minecraft, you might spot kiwi birds in a custom world. But on Kāpiti Island, you can see them in real life. Located just off the coast of Wellington, Kāpiti is one of New Zealand’s most important nature reserves — home to rare birds, native forest, and a deep sense of peace.
The island is predator-free, meaning birdlife thrives here. You’ll hear tūī call from the treetops, watch cheeky kākā fly overhead, and if you’re lucky, spot a little spotted kiwi in the wild. Guided day trips and overnight stays offer a rare chance to connect with nature in its purest form.
To visit, you’ll need to book a ferry and permit, but the journey starts on the mainland. Drive up the Kāpiti Coast from Wellington, with Ezi making it easy to enjoy scenic stops, beach views, and coffee breaks along the way. In-game, it’s a lush and peaceful island. In real life, it’s a living, breathing sanctuary.
Whether you’re a birder, a nature lover, or simply in search of serenity, Kāpiti Island offers something special — a chance to step out of your everyday and into something truly wild.
