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

Pekapeka Wetlands locates in SH2 so you would surely pass it if you drive between Wellington and Napier. It is a great point to stop in the way. Comparing to some other spots, it has a big sign and easy to find. It is not too big but nice enough for a walk. you can see quite a lot of birds other than the plants and wetlands. I must say it is more beautiful than I expected. If we had more time, I would explore more inside. Worth to stop there for a lovely walk if the weather is good!

Great walk with kids..theh can paddle along in the shallow stream, look for painted rocks, run ahead without fear then maybe enjoy a picnic before returning via a the second track. Both tracks through beautiful trees carefully nurtured by a few dedicated locals, very peacful place to be. Dog owners love the walkway as well.
