About Hawkes Bay

Hawke's Bay lies on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.

Gannet Safaris depart from Te Awanga, a thriving coastal community situated mid-way between the Hawke's Bay cities of Napier and Hastings and the gateway to Cape Kidnappers.

Originally a beach settlement this stretch of coastline is now a jewel in the Hawke’s Bay crown. Home to many talented artists, the area is further enriched by wineries, restaurants and the world-rated golf course at Cape Kidnappers.
Local highlights include:

The Hawke’s Bay region is known for its diverse landscape, bountiful produce, award winning wines, unique wildlife, stunning architecture and rich cultural heritage.
