WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GO TO HAWKE’S BAY- NAPIER FOR TEAM BUILDING?

  • Spring (October to November): Spring brings mild temperatures and blooming landscapes, ideal for group hikes, outdoor adventures, and scenic vineyard tours. It’s also a quieter period before the peak tourist season, allowing teams to enjoy venues and activities without crowds.
  • Summer (December to March): The summer months provide long, sunny days and vibrant energy throughout the region. This is the best time for water-based activities, such as kayaking and paddleboarding, and enjoying Napier’s stunning beaches.

Autumn (April to May) is another good option, with cooler but pleasant weather and fewer tourists. The autumn colors in vineyards add a picturesque touch to team-building activities.

While winter (June to August) can be cooler and wetter, it’s suitable for indoor team-building activities like escape rooms, cooking classes, or wine tastings.

Overall, October to March offers the best conditions for maximizing both outdoor adventures and the region’s vibrant offerings.
