One of the most popular Hawkes Bay Trail rides, is the Coastal Pathway from Clive to Clifton Bay. You may wish to make the ride longer (est. 26 km return) by starting at Napier iSite. As you head south, your destination is mostly in view – the landmark of Cape Kidnappers. The route takes you past the beautiful wetlands of Clive, where water birds seem to reside all year round; and apple orchards, farmland and vineyards. The Hawkes Bay sky looks vast.
