5.00Driver picks you up in a 1970's Kombi VW bus, in town and drives around to some beautiful spots, including a vineyard, in Napier. This is a must do for any VW Bus enthusiast, but also a great way to get chauffeured around in Napier. Side note, I accidentally left my backpack at the vineyard and the driver/owner drove me back to make sure i got any bag back, so thank you so much!
Amazing experience , Craig is the best`

5.00This is a great way to experience Napier and Hawke’s Bay. Craig took us to a local produce stand and we had fresh cherries, nectarines and peaches. He drove us through the countryside to see apple orchards and world famous vineyards. We went to a honey store and got to taste all the local honey and have manuka ice cream. Craig drove us through the town and pointed out all the art deco houses and businesses. We had a wonderful day exploring Napier. We highly recommend for cruise passengers, Craig made sure to get us back to our shuttle on time!

5.00Craig... the host was amazing! Friendly, fun, informative and so personable. Throw a VW van on it and it was so memorable. From roadside fruit stand, Hawthorne coffee roadside Cafe to the Te Mata peak with the art deco buildings at the end... only 1 other couple with us made stopping easy. Absolutely worth it and more. Big thanks Craig!!!
