Locally owned and operated (for 70 years!), Gannet Beach Adventures has a long history of providing tours on a spectacular stretch of the Hawke’s Bay coastline, on vintage tractors & trailers to the world's largest mainland gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers. With 20,000+ birds at peak time, the colonies are always abuzz with activity. Get up close and personal with these incredible birds - watch them soar gracefully, greet and preen each other, and marvel at the beautiful markings of one of the most stunning seabirds on the planet. But we are not just about the gannets! The fascinating geological features of the area will amaze both young & old - see ancient fossils, view earthquake fault lines and breathtaking gullies - you don't have to be a geologist to enjoy this! Come for a tootle on our tractors and explore Cape Kidnappers with us. (Note: Our tour operates in an outdoor environment where there are inherent risks and where conditions can change quickly. The tour route can be subject to unpredictable slips, rockfalls, rough and rugged terrain and other naturally occurring hazards).
