Cape Kidnappers, Hawke's Bay, NEW ZEALAND
Cape Kidnappers is a luxury lodge set atop 6,000 rolling acres of pasture land in New Zealand's Hawke's Bay.
Cape Kidnappers is the home of the largest, most accessible mainland colony of gannets in the world. The 20,000 gannets at the Cape are members of the Booby family, with distinctive black eye markings and a pale gold crown.
Gannets are sized midway between a sea gull and an albatross. Visitors to the colony will see adults and young nesting in rows, carrying out their daily routine. The birds can be seen from September until early May, when they leave New Zealand for Australia. In September they return and build their nests, ready for the hatching of chicks during December and January.

Cape Kidnappers - Roadside Stories
To Māori Cape Kidnappers is Te Matau-a-Māui -- the fish hook with which demigod Māui hauled up the North Island. British explorer James Cook gave the cape its English name after a Tahitian crew member on his ship was seized by Māori. Cape Kidnappers is also home to a gannet colony where thousands of birds nest.

The Gannet Colony at Cape Kidnappers
Cape Kidnappers is the largest most accessible mainland gannet colony in the world. The 20,000 gannets at the cape are members of the Booby family, with distinctive black eye markings and a pale gold crown.
Visitors to the colony will see adults and young nesting in serried rows carrying out their daily routine. In the air above your heads these amazing birds with their six foot wing span (2 metres) the birds swoop and dive as they bring back fish. On the ground, just a few feet away, the pairs preen and perform the dance of the gannets' recognition ritual.
The birds can be seen from September to the end of April. In September they return and build their nests ready for the arrival of the chicks during December and January. The chicks are then fattened up ready for their first and departing flight in late April / early May when they go off on their annual ritual to warmer climates.
Gannet Safaris has been guiding visitors over Cape Kidnappers for over 35 years. Our safaris are the only way to be driven right to within a few feet of these remarkable birds. There is absolutely no walking required.
You will travel in comfort in our air conditioned 4 x 4 wheeled vehicles, through Cape Kidnappers Station - traversing riverbeds, broad rolling pastures, through stands of native bush, steep gullies and breathtaking inclines. There is a stop on the way at a spectacular cliff top with panoramic views of Hawke Bay right across to the Mahia Peninsula. The amazing geology of the area can also be taken in. The 36km, three hour trip includes a commentary by your tour guide / driver on the farming operation on Cape Kidnappers Station and an introduction to the gannets.
On arrival at the gannets you can stretch your legs and take in the mouthwatering scenery from your position at the brink of the cliffs edge - 100 metres above the ocean. Here your driver / guide will serve you refreshments whilst you enjoy watching the gannets perform around you.

Gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers - New Zealand
Jan-van-Gent - Takapu - Australasian Gannet - Sula serrator - Cape Kidnappers, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
Cape Kidnappers is home to an enormous gannet bird sanctuary.
The first birds were discovered in 1870, there were 50 couples at the time. That number rose to 40,000 in 1980 and there are now about 90,000 adult birds with their young.
Scientific research showed that the fish living in these parts of the sea are just the ones the gannets like best, and the area is hardly used for fishing by man.
At the end of August the gannets come from Australia to New Zealand to breed. Male and female gannets stay together for most of their lives. In October the female lays a single egg. The young birds leave for Australia in February or March. They leave before their parents do. How they know their way is still a mystery.
Even more remarkable is the fact that the young birds, after a successful flight across the ocean, remain in Australia for two years. Only once they have reached adulthood do they return to their place of birth, in this case it's back to Cape Kidnapper again.
Parents and their young recognise each other by the sound they make. The nests are just far enough apart so they cannot peck one another. When a gannet lands on the wrong spot, he is immediately chased off by the others. The only place for him to rest is in his own nest.
