Bird-Watching Tour in New Zealand: Gannet Safari

Gannet / Scenic Safari

Spectacular scenery at the Cape Kidnappers Station, the largest gannet colony in the world


Attractions and things to do - Bird-Watching Tour in New Zealand: Gannet Safari

Enjoy a scenic safari to Cape Kidnappers Station whilst the gannets are overseas. Cape Kidnappers is the largest and 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.

See adults and young nesting in serried rows carrying out their daily routine at the gannet colony. Above your heads these amazing birds with their six foot wing span (2 metres) 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.

After being driven to the Cape in your air conditioned 4WD vehicle there’s absolutely no walking required. You are taken right to within a few feet of these remarkable birds.
