Frequently asked questions
Return transfers: Cape Kidnappers to Napier Cruise Port and back
Travelling both ways? Book this route one-way or as a return private transfer. The return leg can be the same day, a week later, or a month or more later — there's no limit on the gap between legs. Each leg is confirmed separately with its own pick-up date, time and driver, so a flight change on the way home never affects your outbound trip.
The return leg follows the same road in reverse, so expect a similar distance and drive time. Book the outbound trip now and add the return whenever your travel dates are confirmed.
