Bike Tours Napier

A v ery scenic coastal ride of 26kms, finishing at our 3 favourite Hawke's Bay wineries. Great for those wanting to cycle for 2-4 hours but also enjoy a winery or two!
Departing the port village of Ahuriri you cycle around the port to the Napier CBD, a world renowned Art Deco treasure. Spend some time enjoying the beautiful Art Deco buildings before cycling along the Marine Parade pathway with spectacular views across the Pacific to Cape Kidnappers.
You'll come to Ātea a Rangi - Celestial Star Compass at Waitangi Regional Park, a great place to stop and look at this fantastic installation.
