A Grand Day Out in Hawkes Bay Tour

This Guided half-day tour is a popular choice among visitors in New Zealand. Explore the world’s most popular Art Deco City formed out of the ruins of a devastating earthquake that nearly finished off Napier in 1931. Following the destruction, Napier was rebuilt artistically to include a wide range of 1930s-style buildings. The Art Deco style is defined by its expression of vitality and optimism as well as idealism and escapism to depict two different eras at once.

Get a convenient pick-up from the center of Napier in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus and kick-start your tour by exploring the beautiful Art Deco architecture. In the case of favorable weather and traffic, visit the exquisite beauties of Bluff Hill Lookout and Te Mata Peak. Stop by Mission Estate, which is the oldest winery in New Zealand for sampling the legendary wine. Try the freshly prepared chocolate at the Silk Oak Chocolate Company and the Manuka Honey at the visitor’s Honey center in Napier.

For lunch, local wines, beer, sweets, and shopping visit the Birdswatch Gallery. This also contains a sculpture garden and an art gallery. The more scenic experience side of the tour comes when you get to visit the open farmlands, rivers, etc., in the green countryside. Once the 6-hour-long tour is over, you can choose a spot in the center of Napier for convenient drop-off.
