What to Expect

​Join this popular tour for insights into the best places in Napier and Hawkes Bay, including fantastic scenery, a honey centre, Te Mata Peak, the beautiful Birdwoods Gallery and, of course, the world-famous Art Deco city.
 

The tour departs from the meeting point at the National Aquarium of New Zealand car park on Marine Parade in Napier. From there, you'll board the minibus for 4 hrs of sightseeing.

 

Cruise through Napier's world-famous Art Deco city as your guide shares the tragic story of destruction by earthquake in 1931 and the subsequent rebuild of the city as the Art Deco Capital of the world. You'll also visit the suburb of Marewa to see the stunning Art Deco houses there. 

 

Then, ensure you have your camera ready to snap some of the breathtaking views from Bluff Hill Lookout and Te Mata Peak. Bluff Hill is the former site of an artillery battery with panoramic views over Hawke's Bay and the coastal scenery. Meanwhile, Te Mata Peak stands 399 metres above the Heretaunga Plains. Take in the views of Ruahine, Kaweka and Maungaharuru Ranges and Cape Kidnappers. On a clear day, you can even see Ruapehu in the centre of the North Island.  

 

As you travel around, drive through the beautiful open countryside taking in rivers, estuaries and farmland.

 

Another popular stop is Birdwoods Gallery & Sweet Shop, which offers refreshments including local wines & beers, an art gallery, a traditional-style sweet shop, plus a lovely sculpture garden to explore. 

 

Finally, explore the visitor centre at the largest beekeeping business in the Southern Hemisphere Arataki Honey Visitor Centre. Try New Zealand's unique Manuka honey, watch live bees at work, and learn more about the extraction and packing of delicious honey. They also have honey you can buy to take home with you. 

 

After the tour, you'll be dropped back at the meeting point. For cruise passengers, your guide can return you to the shuttle bus pickup point in plenty of time to return to your ship​​ before its departure.
