This summer is set to be awesome once again



It’s getting warmer out there now, the days are longer and birds are louder. This summer is set to be awesome once again. We can all remember summer fun. For me - we used to hang out at Waikanae Beach and wait for all the townies to come up to their Bach’s for Christmas. Every year there would be at least one where the parents had let the kids use the Bach without them. For us at Waikanae beach that meant it was party time. I can still hear Rage Against The Machine blasting out across the tennis courts. I wonder if the guys from the Waikanae Fire Station remember that music as they were putting out our very small fires on the beach, often with buckets!

Anyway, we need the world to know why this place is awesome. We don’t have heaps of $$ to spend on big TV ads etc, but what we do have is you guys.Tell the world – we are and we would love it if you would help

And if you have been away for a while, this is what some of the locals have been up

Kapiti Island Scenic Flight




Air2there – Kapiti Island Scenic Flight 08.08.09


On Saturday I had the opportunity to step onto a plane with air2there and experience Kapiti Island from an aerial perspective on air2there’s Kapiti Island scenic flight tour. The tour included an introductory talk on the island which includes the history and how it came to be the amazing protected island it is today.
The tour gives you a real feel for Kapiti Island and is a great alternative for those who are unable to get to the island for the day when visiting the region. I would also highly recommend it to locals as it is a great way to see your own backyard.

Daily tours 11am, 1pm 3pm – Booking is recommended.
Cost per person: $105 - Group concessions available.
Tours are conducted with a minimum of three persons.

Nature Coast goes all ‘face bookey’

Having succumbed to the face book community, Nature Coast this week has developed Kapiti Coast, Horowhenua and Nature Coast, three awesome face book pages that will give both locals and visitors the opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas and videos.

Regional Tourism Manager, Chris Barber said: “its weird, but now we have the ability for people to tell us, and the world, what’s going on, and tell us now. That gives us a great opportunity”

So go on, be our friend and check out: Kapiti Coast, Horowhenua and Nature Coast.
