There is an endless variety of things to do in Hawke's Bay ranging from theme parks and aquariums to Dolphins, Kiwis and Cape Kidnappers - the largest and most accessible mainland gannet colony in the world.

On top of that there are outdoor adventures ranging from hot air ballooning and paragliding to windsurfing, jetskiing and canoeing across the bay. Hawke's Bay has a reputation for trout the size most people would only dream about, and you can add to that the crayfish, snapper and other catches of the Pacific Ocean.

Locals are also keen on their sports including horse racing and golf. Or you can leisurely stroll among our numerous shops and art galleries, or visit the local potters and wood turners. And after that you can enjoy the choice of world class international cuisine.
