Board a coach and get acquainted with Napier on this hour-long city orientation drive.
Learn how Napier came to be hailed as the Art Deco City after being rebuilt in the early 1930s due to a major earthquake. Stripped Classical, Spanish Revival, Art Deco, and Maori motif architecture are all represented here.
Follow the Napier seashore along Marine Parade as your driver relates the city's history and stories, including tales of the devastating 1931 quake.
Watch for the sunken gardens, the Aquarium, the Spirit of Napier, and Art Deco buildings. Continue through Napier's suburbs for views of the city and Hawke's Bay. Travel through the Marewa District, noted for its many Art Deco homes and superb gardens.
Your coach will drop you off at the Aquarium, where you can explore the display of aquatic life and New Zealand wildlife, including sharks, stingrays, living coral, endemic kiwi, tuatara, and a huge range of fish species. Spend as much time exploring as you wish here before taking the shuttle (included) back to the ship.
Notes:
Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. A retail gift shop and café are located at the Aquarium. New Zealand dollars and major credit cards are accepted for purchases.
