Gannet Safaris Overland Ltd — photo spot in 396 Clifton Road, Te Awanga 4180, New Zealand

Gannet Safaris Overland Ltd is a practical departure base for iconic gannet photography in Hawke’s Bay (notably Cape Kidnappers). Expect dramatic cliff-and-ocean backgrounds, fast seabird action, and mist-to-sunlight mood. Book ahead—gannet viewing is typically via guided access for safe, staged vantage points. Arrive early for calmer light and fewer crowds.more
