Education Groups

We know that planning a trip for a school group is a challenge at the best of times - let us help!

Our knowledgeable i-SITE team can recommend age appropriate tours, activities and accommodation to make sure your group gets the best out of your visit to Napier. Below are a few of the many ideas for you to incorporate into your educational itinerary:

• Learn about the history of the 1931 Hawke's Bay Earthquake and how Napier was re-built in Art Deco style with a visit to the Hawke's Bay Museum and/or a guided walk from the Art Deco Trust
• Tractor and Trailer or Overland Safari Tour to Cape Kidnappers (seasonal) - see the World's Largest Breeding Colony of Gannets in the world and view the limestone cliffs with the very defined fault lines in them
• Overnight experience at the National Aquarium, meet diver Dan and discover marine life around New Zealand, but remember 'never smile at a crocodile'
• Team Challenge at Par2 minigolf - a mystery hole in one
• Arataki Honey Visitor Centre - Identify the Queen Bee in a wall of bees, watch a educational video and taste all the different types of honey
• Visit the Faraday Centre, Hawke's Bay's Museum of Technology.  This is a place of discovery where history comes alive through hands on experience and you are encouraged to touch, hold items, pull levers and truly discover how things would've been in days gone by. 
• Watch the students mouth water with anticipation at the Silky Oak Chocolate Factory and Museum
• or if it's just merely for fun - Hawkes Bay has it all.
