Railbike adventure & feeding wild stingrays GISBORNE, New Zealand | NORTH ISLAND NZ TRAVEL VLOG 4/5

Following on from our previous vlog we depart from Napier in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand and make our way over to Gisborne. Gisborne is on the east coast of the North Island in NZ and we found a couple of great activities that we lined up to enjoy as soon as we arrived.
First up we experienced a reef ecology tour at Dive Tatapouri. We got kitted up in waders and walked over the reef at low tide to go out to meet and feed some wild stingrays. We were able to learn about, observe and safely interact with these eagle ray stingrays in their natural habitat under the guidance of Dive Tatapouri. The stingrays are not enclosed within the reef and are totally free to come and go as they please. It was a really fun and awesome experience.
Dive Tatapouri
Address: 532 Whangara Road, State Highway 35, Tatapouri Beach, Gisborne 4073
Hours: Monday-Sunday 8am-5pm (but bookings are based around the low tides)
www.divetatapouri.com/our-exp...
You should definitely book in advance if you're interested in doing this feeding stingrays in Gisborne activity with Dive Tatapouri.
After feeding stingrays it was time we got ourselves a feed too so we headed into Gisborne city centre and luckily came across Fusion Takeaway. We got ourselves a satisfyingly hot, tasty, filling lunch and even a sweet boba tea too.
Fusion Takeaway
Address: 57 Peel Street, Gisborne 4010
Hours: Monday Closed
Tuesday-Saturday 11am-8pm
Sunday 11am-7.30pm
We booked a cosy self contained Airbnb studio for our Gisborne accomodation and Janine and Jel even had homemade treats waiting in the fridge for us. It was delicious (thanks again guys!) :)

The next day we did an incredible Gisborne railbike adventure. It's a tandem guided bike ride tour done on abandoned railway tracks. We were blessed with brilliant clear weather to enjoy this 32km scenic bike ride. We did the beach loop track where we got to see a whole lot of beautiful countryside, ride through some cool pitch black tunnels and then get rewarded with a breathtaking view of the coast.
This railbike activity was awesome and it can be enjoyed whether you know how to ride a bike or not (you literally just peddle, no steering required) and if you're worried about your fitness level, get the e-bikes which give you a nice cruisy and easy ride. We opted for the standard bikes though for some extra exercise.
Check out The Gisborne Railbike Adventure website for details on the rides, locations, times and bookings:
railbikes.nz/rides.php
Btw, we're not sponsored for any of these activities (or any that we've ever done before on our previous videos for that matter). They're just some fun local experiences that we came across, liked the sound of and wanted to support. We loved both and can highly recommend them if you like a bit of adventure and to do something a little different.
Last stop for us in Gisborne NZ was to visit Kaiti Hill (aka Titirangi Hill) to get panoramic views of the city and Poverty Bay. From Kaiti Hill you can also see the city's three rivers.
For our final North Island New Zealand road trip destination, we'll be headed to Rotorua. Don't forget to check out our other vlogs from this NZ road trip if you haven't already :)

    Hey Peter and Yen!! Love to see you on another part of our North Island Adventure! That's awesome you're going to see stingrays in the Ocean. Awww.. poor Yen is worried about the fish!! That's so awesome you can go right up to them at low tide!! So amazing that you can feed them too!! That's not a bad price for the experience in USD!! We would definitely enjoy something like that! Glad you were able to find a place to eat.. Fried rice looks tasty! Yens soup looks tasty too!! Your AirBnB has a great view from the bedroom!! We love when hosts leave snacks. A place we went to in Hawaii left us a full loaf of Banana Bread! We have NEVER seen Rail Bikes before, but these look like a heck of a lot of fun!! HAHAHA.. what a workout! That beach loop is stunning!! We love supporting local business. What an amazing adventure and thanks for taking us with you!! Lots of love to you guys and stay safe!

Peter my man - it's been awhile since I last ate a vegemite & chip sandwich...that was a nostalgic moment for me, as was the scenic bike ride (and the 'port-a-loo' in the countryside, hahaha).

They do seem to enjoy the petting coz it helps to clean them apparently lol. I dunno if these particular species of stingray are edible but the ones we've had before it just kinda tastes like a cross between fish and chicken 😅 Hahahah oh my goodness there were some bits we had to do "catch ups" to the groups in front coz we would widen the space between us and them to get nicer shots (plus they were all on ebikes so it was much easier for them cruise along) but then we'd have to make sure we didn't fall too far behind too so had some go hard moments 😂😂 got a good workout for sure! The vegemite & chip sandwiches made for a great snack if only it wasn't soggy 😅 luckily had the homemade muesli too 😁
