WHAT YOU VISIT
Cape Kidnappers Station
This glorious, privately owned 4,500-acre, hill country farm boasts riverbeds, broad rolling pastures, steep gullies and breathtaking inclines. You will be driven over the rich farmland to within a few feet of the gannet sanctuary at Cape Kidnappers, with a knowledgeable guide who will provide you with a full commentary about the area and life on this remarkable farm, which stocks over 8,000 sheep and breeding cattle and encompasses an 18-hole international golf course.

Cape Kidnappers
Your tour begins at the pier, where you'll board an off-road safari vehicle for your journey to Cape Kidnappers, a dramatic promontory at the southern end of the sweep of Hawke's Bay and is the largest and most accessible mainland nesting place of gannets in the world. The 20,000 resident gannets are members of the booby family, with distinctive black eye markings and a pale gold crown. You may view the gannets swooping and diving for fish or preening and performing the "dance of the gannets" recognition ritual. The cape boasts a spectacular view of the rugged coastline from Hawke's Bay all the way north to Mahia Peninsula.

SNACKS
A light snack will be served during the course of the day.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
The world outside of Napier is rugged and wild with a diverse range of natural wonders that's sure to captivate your senses. Upon your return to Napier, enjoy a narrated drive through Napier's historic Art Deco District.
