Walk, horse ride or cycle 35 km of the Kāpiti Coast
The Art Trail is the perfect excuse for a spring escape.
Nestled between the steep Tararua Range and the wild Pacific Ocean, it is little wonder that so many artists have chosen the Kāpiti Coast as a place to live, work, and create. Spring offers the perfect opportunity to explore this inspiring landscape while discovering the region's open studios.
For those wanting to experience the Trail the scenic way, the Coast 35 shared pathway provides a stunning 35-kilometre off-road route stretching from Paekākāriki to Ōtaki. Designed for walkers, runners, cyclists, e-bikers and horse riders alike, it offers a memorable journey through the diverse natural environments that have long inspired Kāpiti Coast artists.
