A hugely memorable stop on our tour of the North Island. Friendly staff, very informative and safe driver with the 4 x 4 bus taking us to see the gannets at Cape kidnappers. The gannets did not disappoint with many newly hatched chicks and feeding/mating/nest building/bill fencing and neck bowing behaviours. There were many thousands of gannets to observe, so exhilarating!! Thank you so much for the wonderful tour. We would highly recommend it for everyone.

We had walked along the beach years ago to see the gannets. It was a new, and most enjoyable experience to go on a minibus to experience the gannet colony. We were there at a perfect time when there were a number of newly hatched chicks and much activity in the air. I suffer from severe neck damage and the driver was extremely considerate of this throughout the trip. An informative and delightful experience to be recommended.

A fun adventure seeing, smelling and listening to the gannets. The dedication to their mates is so impressive and how they locate each other in a crowd of hundreds…
