Shipping: The Port of Napier relocated the port facilities after the 1931 earthquake. The port has gone from strength to strength and offers a full range of worldwide shipping services including a number of weekly container services, complemented by excellent domestic transport systems.

Train: Hawkes Bay was served most recently by  the Bay Express, which ran between Napier and Wellington, but falling air fares and small patronage saw the service cease in October 2001. One station on the line at Ormondville in southern Hawkes Bay has one of the few preserved early wooden railway buildings in New Zealand. Since the cessation of passenger services the station now offers self-catering accommodation for tourists. trains

Cycling: Hawkes Bay has many cycling clubs and is a wonderful area for recreational cycling. There are also many road racing and triathlon events in the region. Mountain biking has also become extremely popular. Another great way to see the area is to bike around the wineries.
