Operated by Supertrike Tours · Napier, Hawke's Bay
The trike hums along the coastal road out of Napier, sea salt on one side and the Tukituki River carving a green ribbon inland. In minutes paddocks give way to orchards and rows of vines; the Supertrike leans into the climb and the landscape opens. At the top, Te Mata Peak unfurls in every direction — plantation ridgelines, the patchwork of Hawke’s Bay farms, and on clear days the distant cone of Ruapehu daring you to look farther.

Te Mata Peak is a cultural landmark for local Māori iwi and has long been used as a strategic lookout; the peak’s name and stories connect to regional tribal history.
