Join this excellent introduction to the Hawke's Bay area, including the sights of Napier and Havelock North. The prosperity of this region has steadily increased over 150 years of sheep farming, market gardening, and, more recently, wine production.
Head along Marine Parade to Havelock North for a scenic drive through the Tuki Tuki Valley with stunning views of Te Mata Peak.
Continue to Silky Oak Chocolates, where you can catch a glimpse of the chocolate-making process and sample some handmade chocolates — pure decadence and not quite calorie-free.
Visit the adjacent Chocolate Through the Ages Museum, detailing the history of chocolate from Aztec times to the present day.
In the pretty town of Havelock North, visit the Arataki Honey Centre for a taste of Rush Munro Ice Cream.
Return to the ship via Napier's legendary Art Deco district. Napier was rebuilt in the early 1930s after a major earthquake in stripped Classical, Spanish Revival, Art Deco, and some lovely Maori-motif architecture.
Follow the Napier seashore along Marine Parade as your driver relates the city's history and stories, including tales of the devastating 1931 quake.
Notes:
Tour sequence may vary. Photos are not permitted during the chocolate demonstration. Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation.
