Our awesome story – you know you want to read it – just try to look away…

Kapiti Coach Tours is a family owned and operated Bus\Coach\Tours\Good People\Good Times Company that started in 2004. It started off as a part time venture with the purchase of our Hino who is affectionately referred to as ‘the Chandelier’. The Chandelier quickly became very popular and regularly out to hire (and is still in our current fleet and is going hard today), so came the next member of the fleet ‘Bertha’ our first 45 seater coach.

Next came ‘the new coach’. The new coach was brought on board with the intention to be hired out and most likely the unloved cousin of ‘the Chandelier’ and ‘Bertha’. The new coach needed loads of work and as the days ticked by was renamed to ‘Anyday’ because anyday now it will be ready to hit the road. From there is more random stories of how Kapiti Coach Tours named their now 7 coach and courtesy van strong fleet, but we will share those another time, so you best be checking out our website for the next instalment.
