For many New Zealanders, the coastal town of Coromandel is never a stranger for holidays and new adventures. Its lush forests, white-sand beaches, and natural coves are part of the many reasons why the locals always include Coromandel in their holiday itineraries. This day tour will show you exactly why this town is one of the most visited places in the North Island by taking you to its most sought-after destinations. You will be riding on the Driving Creek Railway, New Zealand’s only narrow-gauge railway system, and be taken through rugged landscapes and regenerating Kauri forest, then dousing in the warm waters of the Hot Water Beach where you can dig your own ‘hot tub’, and finally, strolling around the Cathedral Cove, where the Pacific Ocean washes through a natural arch onto a white sandy beach with white cliffs in the background. There are plenty of exciting things to look forward to on this full-day tour to the town of Coromandel, all you’ve got to do is join in on the fun, and book this adventure, inclusive of lunch and round trip hotel transfers from Auckland.
