Photo: Cape Kidnappers Coastline New Zealand

Tourists get a beautiful scenic view of the Cape Kidnappers coastline off the North Island of New Zealand hiking down from the Australasian Gannet Colony.

People walk down the trails after viewing the Australasian Gannet Colony at Cape Kidnappers in Hawkes Bay on the North Island of New Zealand. Dirt trails are very well marked as many tourists come to the coastline of the North Island to get a closer look at these unique birds that nest and breed here each year.

The walk down is not nearly as tough as the climb up to the Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony which sits high on the steep cliffs. There are many places to stop and admire the spectacular scenery of the coastline and the many hues that the water possesses.

As the waves crash up against the coastline of the cove at Cape Kidnappers, rocks jut out of the waters surface at the end of the point of the landscape. Low tide brings out the many colors of the water and the uniqueness that this area on the North Island is home to.

Above the coastline and across the horizon, the blue sky is filled with soft white clouds that seem to blanket the entire region. ... continue below the picture...

... The clouds extend and seem to thicken off in the distance where a section of land belonging to another exquisite destination of New Zealand is located.

You have not seen the North Island of New Zealand until you have spent the day with the Australasian Gannets overlooking the Cape Kidnappers coastline on the North Island of New Zealand. This incredible place should not be bypassed by anyone coming to the North Island for a vacation.
