Venture across the formidable landscape of the Ocean Beach Wilderness Area, the heart of New Zealand's largest privately owned and operated wildlife sanctuary. Our guides will take you through a journey of past and present, from pre-historic times, early occupation,
barren hillsides to luscious coastal forest. Experience the impact of Cape Sanctuary's conservation efforts in real-time through up-close encounters with takahe and kakariki. Travel high above the Ocean Beach Cliffs, and greet the all-encompassing view of our coastline as you enter our pest-free slice of paradise, the 'sea bird site'. Learn about Cape Sanctuary's nationally significant sand-dune restoration, coastal revegetation, species translocation and leading sea-bird restoration projects with a well-deserved drink on the panoramic verandah of our newly built hut. Experience one of Hawke's Bay's best kept secrets in this three hour journey!

  • takahe
  • red crowned kakariki
