Gannet Colony

Reviewed By DayTrip769695

Our guide David was terrific as he drove us up and down very narrow roads using a 4 wheel drive vehicle to the top of an overlooking cliff where there were hundreds of gannets. The view of the bays and beaches were spectacular. David was very knowledgeable about the area and the environment. At the end we had q light tea with the best strawberries we ever had

Shine Falls

Reviewed By sallytd14 - Nelson, New Zealand

The Shine Falls are about 1.5 hour drive from Napier on the road to Gisborne. We were taking our time so you could get there a bit quicker than it took us. You park at a DOC carpark and have an hours walk ahead of you. You would need a reasonable fitness level but in saying that we bumped into several families who were walking with very young (2 year olds!!) that made the entire trip themselves - albeit that they took a bit longer than the one hour. The falls are spectacular and well worth the walk. The walk starts out through a working farm and then meanders into native bush. It is quite hard going in a few places but not what I'd call "challenging". Certainly a must do if you've never been there. The falls are about 60 meters high!!!!!! Fantastico!!!!

Askerne Vineyards

Reviewed By Venture06753728273 - Hamilton, New Zealand

Omg what a beautiful venue. This was one of the 4 stops on our guided wine tour and we had a blast. Greeted and served by Laura, the founders daughter, we were treated with care and respect...and with a fantastic quick wit and easy banter! The lass is a natural! We heard of the wineries history, struggles and progress while we were offered a delicious platter for our group and with each wine tasting that followed we fell more in love with her. We may have tried to set her up with a single brother haha. The selection of gourmet picnic items available for purchase, as well as the wines, were delicious and Laura made our time there so much fun. We'll be sure to recommend you to all and will be back in the future :)

Te Mata Park is a must-visit if you are spending time in Hawke's Bay. It's rich in Maori cultural tradition and history. Well-signposted walks and mountain-bike tracks, coupled with magnificent views to all corners of the compass.

My girlfriend and I visited Mission Estate when we were in Napier and were pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the staff who did the wine tasting - Chris from Coventry you are amazing and you made our day!

Te Mata Peak

Reviewed By JMT_NZ - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Te Mata Peak is simply stunning. I've driven to the peak several times and it's a great experience to take in the wider Hawkes Bay. If you drive right to the top then it's suitable for people with impaired mobility although they need to be able to walk up a short steep gradient for the best views from the trig.
