Have you own personal encounter with the birds with the sun rising over the
plateau.

The East Cape of New Zealand is the first in the world to see the sunrise each
day.

Enjoy a unique tour to Cape Kidnappers and watch the sun rise over the
gannets.

Travel in our 4 x 4 Range Rover (maximum 4 people) on an exclusive tour to
this iconic site – the largest accessible mainland gannet colony in the world!

Your 3-hour personal tour will take you overland through Cape Kidnappers
Station, a working farm of approximately 2,500 hectares with a fascinating
history. In addition to beef and sheep farming the station boasts a
200-hectare conservatory protected by a predator proof fence running from
coast to coast across the promontory. The conservatory hosts introduced Kiwi
and Tuatara along with a wide variety of native birds and wildlife which had
previously been wiped out by predators such as stoats, weasels, opossums etc.

There is a luxury lodge on the farm with a privately-owned world class golf
course.

A cliff-top stop en route to the colony provides spectacular views across
Hawke Bay to Napier and the distant Mahia Peninsula.

On arrival at the colony you will be mesmerised by the spectacular birds with
their eye markings and golden crowns. From within just a few feet of the
adults and nesting chicks see these remarkable birds preening themselves and
performing their courtship dance ritual.

On the sunrise tour a picnic breakfast is supplied with freshly brewed coffee.
