Love the views of the turquoise water, the waves crashing against the beach and the birds-eye view of our cruise ship. Walk to the small garden to see some birds and blooming flowers. A great stop on our Napier Wine, Cider and Art Deco tour. Note: Book independently for a smaller more intimate experience and save some money, too. Pick up the tour at the National Aquarium. Safety first. Seatbelts required.

Getting to this location was a bit of a hike. We suggest taking an Uber or taxi to get to the front of the facility. All the escape rooms are authentic and have remained true to scale.

When he tried to make her permanently human, she fled back into the sea and he never saw her again. He now protects the sea and the reef in the shape of a shark or stingray. The mermaid statue was placed on the City of Napier's Marine Parade in 1954. It is made of bronze & is 5 ft tall. It's funny, she was stolen a few years ago & was mysteriously returned a week later.
