Adventure

Drinking and eating is just part of the experience on offer in Hawke's Bay Wine Country. When you feel an urge to get active, there are plenty of possibilities to choose from ranging from mild to wild. Hawke's Bay offers great land, air, sea and river activities.

Enjoy a breathtaking early morning balloon ride, a helicopter safari, beach adventure or overland experience to the world's largest gannet colony, a cycle tour of the region or a cruise, dive or fishing charter.

Jet boating, jet skiing and water skiing options are available on the local rivers and most weekends, water skiers, rowers, kayakers and fisherman jockey for position on the Clive River.

At Waimarama, there is a Maori owned and operated horse trek that has ponies which are expertly trained.

"Generous hosts, helpful guides of Hawke's Bay and comfortable surroundings."  Tim and Courtney, Detroit, USA.
