Plan your trail

Curating your own trail of discovery as part of the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail is delightfully easy. This allows you to travel the trail using your smartphone as your guide.

Start building your trail by viewing artists on the Participating Artists page. Add the ones you're interested in to your favorites by clicking the ♡ (heart) in the top right corner. They'll get added to your My Fabourites list, where you can save and rearrange them.  Plot a route on the big map (see example below) in the sequence you'd like to visit.  Open in Google Maps and use your mobile on the day, to find your way.

Browser requirements:

We use Google Maps to display artist locations. This requires a modern browser. To the best of our knowledge, current Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all support the full set of Google Map features. Since browser versions prior to that were released several years ago, they are currently not supported for use with the Google Maps.
