Cape Kidnappers is a prominent headland located on the eastern coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is part of the Hawke's Bay region and is known for its stunning cliffs that rise dramatically from the ocean. The cape is named after a historical event involving the kidnapping of a Māori boy by a ship's crew in the 18th century. The area is also famous for its diverse wildlife, particularly the large population of gannets that nest on the cliffs. Visitors can explore the scenic landscapes through walking trails and enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Cape Kidnappers is a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers alike.
