Day 2:   Hawke's Bay - Golf at Cape Kidnappers 
Today enjoy a round of golf at New Zealand’s newest course, Cape Kidnappers.  Designed by acclaimed golf architect Tom Doak, the par 72 course is built on a 5000 acre sheep farm.  The course feels like an old-style Scottish course and was designed to blend in with the rolling coastal farmland.  It is not true links terrain; instead, the land tilts toward the sea as a series of ridges which jut out toward the edge of the cliffs.  The play is seaside golf at its finest.  You’ll hit heroic shots over the top of tea trees and play cautiously along the edges of deep ravines.  Every hole has a view of the Hawke’s Bay, and at the sixth and fifteenth it is possible to pull your approach off the very end of the earth, though it will take nearly 10 seconds of hang time for your ball to reach the ocean, 500 feet below.  Electric cart hire is included.

Day 3:   Hawke's Bay - Wine Lovers Tour
Enjoy a full day guided tour to start your exploration of the range of New World wine excellence, in both white and red varietals.  Visit the very best of the wineries and taste the best of the wine.  Guided by a vineyard owner and medal winning wine expert, this is a fantastic day for wine lovers!  A picnic lunch is included today.

Day 4:   Hawke's Bay - Day at Leisure
Today is free to explore this city which was totally destroyed by an earthquake in 1931 and has been faithfully restored.  Highly recommended today is a visit to Cape Kidnappers where you can view the world’s largest mainland Gannet Colony. 

Day 5:   Depart the Hawke's Bay
Sadly your time in New Zealand comes to an end as you transfer to or return your rental car to the airport for your onward flight.  Here, we bid you a fond farewell to your homeland and hope you leave with many happy memories of your stay in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
