Interesting, amusing and informative. Tony was just great. Amazing knowledge of both the local Cape Kidnappers area and also the economics of the wider Hawke’s Bay. All interspersed with gentle humour. Oh and the gannets were fantastic too. We park within metres of the birds (thousands of them) and they totally ignore us and go about their business. Absolutely loved it, totally recommend it to anyone interested in the birds and also amazing New Zealand scenery.
Thank you for reviewing Gannet Safaris Overland. Its a pleasure taking everyone out to see the Gannet Colony, there is so much along the way which everyone loves - especially the views! Happy travels :)
Great trip! Worth every penny. Don't miss the amazing birds! Best chance to use slo-mo mode on your iphone!
Thank you for the review. On I forget about the slo-mo on phones - what a great idea! Cheers :)
Regent cruise from New Zealand to Bali, such gorgeous sites its hard to say which the best, but this for sure is a shore excursion not to be missed in Napier. Our guide Dawel took us thru an amazing natural envirment on a 2 hours unforgettable trip, till we reached the cliff where gannets live. Absolutely spectacular!
Wonderful - we love hearing how much everyone enjoys the tour. It s fantastic show excursion which the ships offer. Cheers :)
The Gannet colony is in a privately owned property and it takes more than an hour to drive up to the colony. The drive is so beautiful with many picturesque landscapes. The Gannet colony was bigger than we expected and it was one of the best experiences for us to see the birds so close.
What a great excursion from our cruise. Beautiful countryside including farm backroads to the Gannet colony. Jan, our driver and guide is local, very local and knows the back story. She knows about the Gannets in detail and was happy to answer questions. She made a good trip a great trip. She was truly a delight. And by the way, an excellent driver.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you had a great time on our tour with Jan as your guide - we love sharing the history of Cape Kidnappers and educating our visitors about the magnificent Gannets. Happy Travels.
This was a fantastic tour. We saw beautiful landscapes that were so extraordinary, heard the history of the land and the nature reserve, and had close encounters with the amazing gannet colony. Our guide Tony was so informative with his historical commentary, and he even added a quick stop at the world-famous golf course! This is a not-to-be missed experience!
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your tour with Tony. The landscapes are just extraordinary aren't they as well as the Gannets
Did not realize we would drive right up to the birds. The scenery going and coming was fantastically
Thank you for your review. What a fantastic surprise getting up close and personal with these magnificent birds!
To see these beautiful Gannets in person is a wonderful and unforgettable experience. However, if there was no confusing in the coordination of the ride ( there were a few people just walking in our fully occupied bus when we were in the rest area) I would have given them five stars.
You can’t imagine how thrilling it is, after driving over an hour, to reach the summit of a lookout and see thousands upon thousands of nesting gannets just within a few feet of you. You can see males bringing seaweed to their mate, who will build a nest for the one egg that she will lay. Some males are lazy and wait around to steal the seaweed from other birds. We were lucky enough to see chicks of various ages and sizes. Some of these nests and birds are only 10 feet beyond the roped area. This was a close encounter that made it even more thrilling. A shout out to Rob, who was our excellent driver and guide. Make sure to put this on your list of things to do while visiting Napier. You will be glad that you did.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you had a fantastic trip with Rob. It is amazing being able to get so up close with the gannets, they are amazing to watch, and how awesome that you got to see chicks as well. Happy Travels.
