The East Cape and Hawke’s Bay Coast are among the first places in the world to witness the sunrise over the ocean. Join the private sunrise tour for a personal encounter with the magnificent gannets. As the sun rises over the plateau, participants will feel a unique connection to the nature and beauty of the country. Upon reaching the colony, visitors will be mesmerized by the spectacular birds with their distinctive eye markings and golden crowns. They can get within just a few feet of adults and chicks, observing them nesting, preening, and performing their courtship dance.
