Top Napier Self-guided Tours

Cruise ship passengers who want an active adventure while on land will love this white-water rafting expedition from Napier. The rapids are an easy class II, so even first-timers and older kids can join in. Admire the views of the native bush, listen to birdsong, and even go for a swim in the gentle river if you like. Photos of your trip will be provided after.

Much of the Napier-Hastings region of the Hawke’s Bay – including wineries, beaches and lookouts – is within cycling distance of central Napier. Skip the tour buses and minivans and head out on your own adventure with this full-day bicycle hire package. All the gear you need, including helmets, locks, maps and mechanical support, is provided with your bicycle. Everything else – where to go, what to see and when to get there – is up to you and your group.
