Hawke's Bay
has an amazing amount of things to do and see within thirty minutes
to an hour of either of the Twin Cities (Napier and Hastings). And there
are plenty of tour operators willing
to help you discover the area.
Here are the major attractions to Hawke's Bay...
Art
Deco
Hawke's Bay is the Art Deco Capital of the World - thanks to the 1931
earthquake that virtually destroyed most of Napier and Hastings. The
cities were rebuilt in the fashionable styles of the time - Spanish
Mission, Stripped Classical, and above all Art Deco.

Kidnappers

colonies in the world. Visited by thousands of people each year, particularly
between early November and late February, the Cape itself is a geological
marvel.
