Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony

This is an absolutely spectaclar walk!!  Definitely one of New Zealand's must do walks.  Even without the gannets the scenery along the beach and at the headland is amazing.  Access is easy, you can even get there on a farm bike or tractor if you want. 

Time Taken: 4-6 Hours Difficulty: Easy Location: Cape Kidnappers near Napier Make sure you find about about the tides because it's not possible to safely walk all sections of the beach when the tide is in. Trip Report - 18th December 2007

To fit in with the tides we had to start our walk before 4am in the morning!
