It was named by Captain Cook after the one of his cabin boys was kidnapped by the local Maori in 1769. Cape Kidnappers is home to a colony of Australasian Gannets which nest here over summer. Access to this area is by walking (about 2 hours each way) at low tide only (ie starting to walk 3 hours before low tide), by a tractor and trailer ride along the beach, or by a 4wd bus through the farmland above the beach. This photo is taken just after dawn, after a 2 hour walk in the dark along the beach.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6343649/89c83b3a-9a63-48ed-85dd-bd4e851a8fdb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Dawn rises over the city of Napier, with St Paul's Cathedral to the left of shot ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2593/f58c226a-6ac2-4f4b-a2ad-b01a5a84e64f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Every year in September the Mabin family open their front paddocks to the public to let them explore ( and pick from ) their daffodils.
