Cape Kidnappers is a 2,000-hecture peninsula serving as a wildlife preserve, especially for one of the few remaining Gannet colonies in the World! The 20,000 gannets are members of the Booby family with distinctive black eye markings and a pale gold crown. Visitors to the colony will see adults and young nesting in serried rows. In the air birds swoop and dive as they bring back fish. On the ground, the pairs preen and perform the dance of the gannets' recognition ritual. Informative tours are available daily, by foot, tractor, mini-van or a organize a private tour with an expert guide, which can include helicopter access to the peninsula. We will be happy to give you advice and to assist with your bookings.
