Let someone else read the map and tell the stories 

Not everyone’s born with a built-in compass—or the patience to herd a group through the bush. That’s where our local guides come in.

Whether it’s walking, paddling, pedalling, or noshing, they know the best bits, the secret spots, and the tales behind them (some even true). So kick back, follow the leader, and discover Kāpiti with someone who actually knows where they’re going.
