Additional Information

Cruise tour launches occur at the National Aquarium - refer to important information below

Commencing from Napier, this picturesque journey navigates the shore before taking an inland route to follow the captivating Tukituki River, offering splendid vistas over the valley, the Havelock North hills, and up to Te Mata Peak.

Next, we cross the river, passing the Craggy Range winery, and venturing into Havelock North prior to beginning the thrilling 400m ascent to the Peak. You’ll be treated to impressive, all-encompassing views of Hawkes Bay, extending to the volcanic Ruapehu on a clear day!

Ascending a mountain on a V8 trike can make for an unforgettable experience, perfect for birthday celebrations or marking significant events.

We allot around 20 mins for a stay at the Peak before descending through the plantations and vineyards.

Given that Napier lacks a cruise passenger terminal, all passengers are asked to utilize the complimentary shuttles to the city. The National Aquarium, our cruise tour’s departure point, is the shuttle’s second stop.

  • Cruise passengers should contact us prior to booking
  • We are not able to enter Napier port to collect cruise passengers.
  • Napier operates free shuttles from the ship to the city
  • Cruise tours depart from National Aquarium which is the second shuttle stop.
  • This is not a full commentary tour, due to the nature of the trike there is no commentary while we are travelling.
Location
National Aquarium of New Zealand
Marine Parade
The trike will pull up in the bus stop in front of the cafe entrance. Cruise passengers; the trike will be in the car park.

Exhilarating Ride! - A great exhilarating ride to Te Mata Peak. It was overcast so a bit chilly, yet Phil provided extra layers if needed. We passed through neighborhoods, wineries and fruit orchards. Beautiful views and vistas

Don't miss this! - Phil gave us a memorable experience in Napier. He thinks of all details to keep us comfortable. We had just the right amt of time to take photos at the top of the mountain. This was so much better than a bus tour. You won't regret this unique experience .

Great adventure with beautiful views (very responsive guide) - Thank you Phil for a fun adventure with beautiful views! We totally recommend this Viator in Napier, New Zealand! Actually, we recommend booking with Viator, when cruising or tour Australia and New Zealand (we have thoroughly enjoyed the Viator small-group and individual tours we’ve taken from our Holland America cruise). All have been exceptional! Thank you Phil!

Exhilarating - This was a great idea! We did this tour while on a cruise ship. The meeting place was a little confusing as it had conflicting information. The meeting place IS at the aquarium. We absolutely loved the trike ride. The trike was very comfortable. 4of us sat very comfortably! Seatbelts are provided on the trike as it is considered a car! Helmets are not required! Phil was awesome! He took us on an amazing 2 hour tour of beautiful Napier. The weather was great. It is an open vehicle, so dress appropriately! The tour takes you up into the mountains where it is a little colder. Phil did have some extra coats if anyone was cold. We we’re dropped off right in town, so it was no problem getting back to our cruise ship, I would highly recommend this tour.
