Napier Shore Excursion to Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony

About this activity

This is Hawkes Bay's most iconic tour. Gannet Safaris Overland has been guiding visitors over Cape Kidnappers for over 50 years. It’s the only tour which drives you to within meters of the remarkable gannets – no walking required - traversing riverbeds, broad rolling pastures, through stands of native bush, steep gullies and breath-taking views with spectacular cliff top with panoramic views of Hawke Bay. The amazing geology of the area can also be taken in. The 36km, three hour trip includes commentary by your tour guide on the farming operation of Cape Kidnappers Station and an introduction to the gannets.
