Cathedral Cove & Coromandel Peninsula Small Group Day Tour

Itinerary:

1.  Auckland - Your tour starts in New Zealand’s largest city. As we drive out of the city, your guide will not only set the scene for your adventure today but also point out and guide you past some of the city’s top highlights.

2.  Waikato - Exiting Auckland, we travel south through the stunning Waikato countryside, the most extensive farming area in the world, encountering beautiful scenery, mighty rivers, great photo opportunities, impressive mountains, and several farm animals along the way.

3.  Coromandel Peninsula – As we enter the Coromandel Peninsula, we will begin to discover its untouched beauty. Famous as a favourite holiday spot for locals, this area is rich with stunning white sand beaches, extensive native forests, and unbeatable views of the Pacific Ocean coastline. We will stop many times for short walks to viewpoints and great spots for photos during our journey through this breathtaking area, on the way to our first feature destination.

4.  Hot Water Beach – After a yummy lunch (at own expense), our next stop is the renowned Hot Water Beach. Here you can dig a hole in the sand to create your own naturally-heated geothermal water bath. *Tip: Dig your hole at the edge of the beach to allow ocean waves to gently roll in and cool you off occasionally. What could be better than a natural geothermal spa on the beach! Don't forget to bring some clothes you can swim in, and something dry to change into afterward at the onsite restrooms. 

5.  Auckland – Sadly, after this day in paradise, we must start to head to North again, but your day is not over with a fully guided return trip to Auckland, including secret stops along the way.
