Our tour operates in an outdoor environment that is always changing, where there are inherent risks and where conditions can alter quickly. The tour route can be subject to unpredictable slips, rockfalls, rough and rugged terrain and other naturally occurring hazards. The recent QRA report (jointly commissioned by Hastings District Council and Dept. of Conservation) states the safest way to experience the beach route to Cape Kidnappers is with our organised tour to ‘take advantage of local knowledge and reduced exposure time’.

Come on a unique, fun eco-experience tour, in a beautiful and iconic part of the Hawke’s Bay region. Our ‘one of a kind’ tour provides a 4-hour mild adventure, travelling along the majestically rugged coastline from Clifton to Cape Kidnappers, on vintage American tractors. The Cape is not only home to four gannet colonies which bustle with the daily rituals of these amazing seabirds, but is one of the most geologically fascinating parts of our country. The trip is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, and our experienced guides have safely transported passengers and helped them enjoy this amazing area for 70 years.
