Breath-taking Landscape at Cape Kidnappers

 

Terletak di ujung tenggara Hawke's Bay, area teluk di timur pulau utara di Selandia Baru, Cape Kidnappers menawarkan pemandangan yang tampak seperti imaji di kartu pos kemanapun anda melihat.

 
Located on the southeastern tip of Hawke's Bay, the bay area in the east of the northern island of New Zealand, Cape Kidnappers offers a view that looks like the image on a postcard everywhere you look.

Sheep everywhere

Anda perlu berkendara sekitar 20 kilometer dari kota Napier, Selandia Baru hingga mencapai Clifton Road, titik masuk ke area Cape Kidnappers. Selain penginapan bintang lima, area ini merupakan wilayah perbukitan rumput dengan ribuan domba yang menghiasi topografi, khas Selandia Baru.

You need to drive about 20 kilometers from the city of Napier, New Zealand to reach Clifton Road, the entry point into the Cape Kidnappers area.  Beside five-star accommodation, this area filled with hills covered by grass and thousands of sheep, a typical New Zealand topography.

Tidak hanya itu, di ujung tebing anda akan menemukan pemandangan memukau tebing yang seakan "dipotong" sehingga menghasilkan garis dan bentuk yang sangat menakjubkan.

Not only that, at the edge of the cliff you will find spectacular views of the land that seemed like being "cut," making the spectacular shapes and lines of the cliffs.

Perjalanan ini kemudian menjadi lebih menarik lagi saat saya tiba di Black Reef dimana terdapat koloni burung gannet di area tebing pinggir pantai. Di Cape Kidnappers inilah terdapat koloni burung laut ini dengan populasi terbesar yang dapat diamati dari jarak sangat dekat. Burung-burung ini bahkan terlihat tidak perduli dengan keberadaan kami di dekat mereka. Truly an amazing experience!

This trip became more interesting when I arrived at the Black Reef where you can see gannet colony where at the cliff beside the sea. At Cape Kidnappers, the largest and most accessible mainland gannet colony is easy to approach, you can see from a very close range. These birds don't even seems to care at all when we walk near them. Truly an amazing experience!
