To get a different perspective of this unique and beautiful part of New Zealand, you might take a scenic flight. You can choose to tour the stunning coastline surrounding Cape Kidnappers or fly over Hawke’s Bay’s picturesque vineyards, orchards and farmland. Then saddle up and enjoy a horseback ride together across sand dunes, tussock country and golden sand beaches. The two of you can then enjoy a romantic picnic lunch on a riverbank or the beach.

Your children can get up close to pet sheep, learn about different sheep breeds and try their hand at milking a cow. It’s a delight to watch young ones pick their own strawberries at The Strawberry Patch and then try to spot you through the Maze ‘n Maize. Visit Arataki Honey and see what thousands of bees get up to in colourful hives dotted around Hawke's Bay Wine Country. Children of any age will enjoy a truly interactive, self-paced learning experience as they explore the world of the honeybee.

Invite a group to join you and choose from options including jet boating, hot-air ballooning, surfing, windsurfing, paragliding, fly-fishing, surfcasting, deep-sea fishing and even hunting. After your busy day, why not warm down with a Hole-in-One Sports Massage. As night falls, experience a Powhiri (Maori Welcome) and drink in the words of the tribal elders and listen as they share captivating legends with you.
