Things to do

    • Your clients can get to this beautiful arched rock cavern and beach via a boat or kayak tour. Suggest they take a glass-bottom boat to the cove through the surrounding marine reserve.
    • At low tide, your clients can dig their own spa pools in the sand at Hot Water Beach – a truly unique Kiwi experience. Alternatively, The Lost Spring offers ready-made natural mineral water hot pools and relaxing spa treatments.
    • The town of Waihi is home to a fully operational gold and silver mine. Visitors can view the mine from the viewing platform or learn about goldmining at the Gold Discovery Centre.
    • Your clients can enjoy numerous biking, walking and hiking options such as the popular overnight walk to the Pinnacles, the scenic Coromandel Coastal Walkway and the historic Hauraki Rail Trail.

Tips & Suggestions

  • For a more relaxing way to travel, why not book your clients on a ferry from Auckland CBD to the Coromandel (or vice versa)? Once they arrive, Coromandel Adventures can arrange transport and custom tour packages.
  • Remind your clients they will need a shovel to dig their personal spa pool at Hot Water Beach. Accommodation providers will usually lend or hire these to guests.
