Hawke’s Bay is loved for its sunny climate, fabulous beaches, sheltered coastal plains and long-established vineyards. It is also one of the country's largest fruit growing areas.

Napier, the main city of the region, has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco buildings in the world. It was razed by earthquake and fire in 1931, then rebuilt in the art deco style fashionable at the time.

The Hawke's Bay vineyards are all within a short distance of Napier and its nearby sister city Hastings. More than 30 vineyards are open to the public for wine tasting with some operating cafes and restaurants in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Another unique attraction is the gannet colony on the very tip of Cape Kidnappers - believed to be one of only two mainland gannet colonies in the world.

You can also find plenty of adventure in Hawke’s Bay - rafting on the Mohaka River, horse trekking, hunting and trout fishing.
