“We did the Sip, Cycle, Soak (self-guided) package and it was honestly the highlight of our Hawke’s Bay trip! The day started with a fresh, delicious breakfast at The Bach Café, then we picked up our e-bikes. The team was so friendly and had everything ready to go. The ride itself was stunning—easy to navigate, with beautiful scenery the whole way and plenty of great spots to stop along the trail. We finished with a soak at Ocean Spa, which was the perfect way to unwind after a day of cycling. Such a fun, seamless experience. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!”

“Thank you Greg for such a wonderful afternoon. You are such a great guide. Peter and I had a great time visiting 4 wineries and drinking very tasty wines. We met wonderful people from around the world. I always find such encounters interesting because the first few minutes are usually pretty formal with hellos, where are you from... and after having a few glasses of wine, we are like old friends having wonderful chats, laughing and we could not stop chatting. The glue to a wonderful tour is definitely Greg. You made us feel extremely relaxed, comfortable and the wineries were fantastic. In conclusion, if you are thinking about going for a wine tour... JUST GO ! Grape Escape is highly rrecommended. Peter & Hong (Malaysia) 3rd December 12pm”

“Clarence was absolutely incredible! Group of 7 of us and Clarence was so involved and knowledgeable. So much fun! He got involved in our silly little games and was such a trooper with the group. Would highly recommend to anybody in the area!”

“Fun day. Bikes were excellent with baskets so you can easily carry water etc. lots of vineyards close by. If you buy wine in selected winery they will be picked and bring back to the bike station…a very nice touch.”

“Had an amazing experience today with the team at Mohaka rafting. Lots of silly jokes from professional and knowledgeable instructors. The Rapids are very fun and I felt very safe and well communicated the whole trip. Thank you very much Norm and team you live in an amazing area of New Zealand!!! ❤❤❤”

“A truly wonderful experience for our family and especially for my Dad celebrating his 90th Birthday and the fact that 60 years ago he was a General Farm Hand on Summerlee Station which covered 5000 acres in and around the area of the Cape Kidnappers … Marcus our guide was so very knowledgeable and very entertaining and Sophie back at base was super helpful too … all in all a very ‘proud to be a Kiwi’ moment for us as well as being very proud of our home Village of Te Awanga :-)”

“We had such an amazing experience with Dzidra and her beautiful horses today. It was so much more than your typical horse riding experience. My sisters and I would highly recommend Boutique Horse Trek for even the smallest of riders.”

“An absolutely fantastic day This was a last minute booking as we arrived into Napier a day earlier than expected What a lucky result Don's knowledge is off the scale and his enthusiasm was infectious I have visited many wineries in the past but to be guided through the whole process was at a new level. His choices of wineries and his interaction throughout was something special Thanks Don for an education and a fabulous day with some lovely others guests. Highly recommend.”

“A very small little model railroad tucked up in the hills. Nice for Kids to see how steam engines work, even if they are 1/100 scale. Amazingly a one horsepower steam engine can pull a bunch of carriages with some very large people of size on them.”

“A short 15 min easy walk from the car park. A MUST VISIT place in Napier. Truly amazing place”

“I dealt with Djana Jones. She was very efficient and had an awesome personality. Gave me awesome deals on accommodation, flights. Very attentive to my cruise requirements. Thank you Djana”

“Had a great time there. We would like to give a big shout out to Marie who was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. A great asset to your company. Would throughly recommend to anyone! A+++”

“We did the guided walking tour around Napier’s art deco buildings run by a volunteer from the Art Deco Trust. You need to pre book your places on the tour. It was easy walking, went for about an hour and a half, they provide you with a head set so you can listen to your guide. Great stories, wonderful insights about the city, especially the earthquake history. I’d highly recommend the tour.”

“The new park (post cyclone Gabrielle) opens April 6th 2024 and is accessed via Waipunga road, off SH5 Esk Valley. Turn into Waipunga road, cross the bridge then turn right into the first forestry road, and follow this to the carpark. No tracks remain in the Mill Block off SH2.”

“These guys were ultra helpful Of course they were knowledgeable, but when Mel was unsure about something, she took the time to ask Jo, and added extra gems Went on-line to book our Janet tour Thanks”

“We had the best time on our wine tour with Frank! The tour was relaxing, scenic, informative, and tasty. Frank was a friendly and accommodating host. Don’t let this experience pass you by!”

“An interesting and enjoyable way to explore Napier, especially if you have limited time available. We booked our excursion through the ship that we were cruising on, the tour operator picked us up near the ship's gangway, and returned us there with plenty of time to spare before our scheduled sailing time. The tour is operated by a father and son team, who also constructed the "train" which transports it's passengers around the Napier CBD and surrounding areas. The son drives the "locomotive" (a modified agricultural tractor), and provides commentary about the history of Napier, with an emphasis on the 1931 earthquake which largely destroyed the city, and the subsequent rebuilding effort, which resulted in most of the buildings being designed in the Art Deco style. His delivery style includes a great deal of dry humour.”

“Absolutely LOVED our guided tour with Phil on the Supertrike! Was epic, the bike is a beast and Phil is a fantastic and funny tour guide with really interesting info on the region! Recommend it! A+++”

“Mr Fishing Adventures exceeded all expectations. Hamish, A friendly and knowledgeable skipper with his comfortable, well organised boat put us onto the fish and gave us all the helpful tips for landing them. An enjoyable and unforgettable trip for the first timer and the seasoned fisherman! A family from Aussie with a week spent in NZ and this was everyone’s highlight of the trip. Ngā mihi Hamish!!!”

“My wife and I came to Napier for a ‘Wine holiday’ to visit the vineyards in the local area. We chose 415 because of its high reviews on google and trip advisor… It was awesome, the rooms have been beautifully renovated and very warm when it was only 1 degree outside. The location was great, close to restaurants and easy to find on the main beach road. Our hosts Tom & Esther were great company helping us find the vineyards we wanted to visit and guide us away from some we didn’t know were closed. Cooked a great breakfast too!”

“We drove from Auckland to Hawkes bay for the weekend to learn some Trapeze basics. We were so glad we did! Mike was amazing at helping us all to feel welcome right the start. His coaching and caring helped me feel confident enough to try a variety of things even though I have a fear of heights. Whether you are interested in Trapeze or other aerials, go check them out!”

“As soon as I arrived, she treated me very warmly and was very willing to help me with what I was looking for. She took all her time twice I went. I brought a card so I could continue buying my tickets with Aleisha”

“I can thoroughly recommend Bay Tours for your chartered bus needs. They are professional, efficient and competitive with quotes. Bay Tours have awesome bus drivers who are extremely helpful and professional.”

“We had our wedding at Meadowood and it was just perfect!! Kerri and Matt were amazing, super helpful and the place looked 10/10! Would 100% recommend!”

“I highly recommend using YOU travel. Stephen was awesome to deal with. Kind, welcoming and went the extra mile for us in finding us the best deal for a family holiday. We were called back with a great deal under our budget within a couple of hours. We really appreciated the time and thought he put into it making sure it was child friendly, gorgeous accommodation and flights with hardly any layover time which is huge for us when travelling with a baby. Thanks again for doing that for us Stephen.”
