The owners/operators at Kapiti Nature Lodge are John and Susan Barrett, and John's sister Amo Clark.

John and Amo's iwi (tribe) and whānau (family) have been living on Kapiti Island since the 1820's, and have accumulated an unsurpassed collection of knowledge and experiences on the island's history and growth as a world renowned nature reserve, and willingly share this knowledge with their visitors.

Together with Amo, John and their whānau, there are other expert guide staff to help provide you with good birding and walking options at the Lodge.  1 hour guided birding/nature or history walks are available at $20 per person.

The lodge guides are highly trained, experienced and accredited nature guides, and are available to accompany guests on day walks and night-time kiwi spotting walks.
