See Napier’s Art Deco quarter, watch the 1931 earthquake film, and learn how the city rebuilt on an easy 90-minute guided walk.
“Good walking tour (with short introductory movie to start). Headsets included. Plenty of info regarding the devastating earthquake in Napier in the 1930s, the impressively quick rebuild, and the many examples of art deco architecture across the city centre. Knowledgeable guide too. I do think it'd be better to have a slightly lower maximum number of guests on the tour, though, as it did feel that the group was at times in the way of other people trying to get past, and it was tough for the guide to keep the group together.”
Taste Hawke’s Bay wines and five local gins, visit Mission Estate, share a cheese board at Askerne, and ride through orchards near Napier.

“There were none! . It was a long winded boring drive around stopping at a chocolate shop for 15 mins then listening to a run down of the earthquake in 1931. We finally saw some art deco homes. Trip could have been condensed into one hour instead of two. Tour narrator spent a lot of time telling the bus driver how to drive! Waste of 2 hours”
