Once you board at the pier, the train will chug its way along Marine Parade while engaging commentary points out areas of interest such as the unspoiled Cape Kidnappers, Art Deco architecture, Napier's main street/pedestrian zone and over Bluff Hill, a limestone cliff face overlooking the port of Napier.
