Spend a thoroughly relaxing yet enjoyably engaging day touring the delights of Hawke's Bay. Begin on the outskirts of Napier and benefit from a wealth of local knowledge to steer you on an interesting and leisurely path through estuary trails and coastal paths as you wind your way through this lovely region, making well-timed pitstops at the fantastic wineries along the route. The tour is self-guided with half or full day options. You will be well-armed with ample instructions and insider tips as you set off on your voyage of discovery. Explore at your own pace and rest in the knowledge that backup support is only a phone call away should you need it.
Depart from the village of Ahuriri where you cycle around the port to Napier, a world-renowned Art Deco treasure. Spend some time enjoying the unique designs of the art deco buildings before following the coastal pathway to Cape Kidnappers. Along the way be mesmerized by spectacular views of the Pacific. Turn inland and follow the Tutaekuri River trail which overlooks the gorgeous orchards of the Taradale suburb.
