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.
