Coromandel Day Tour From Auckland

Discover the natural beauty and rich history of the Coromandel Peninsula on a full-day tour from Auckland. Once renowned for its hardrock gold mining and kauri industries, the Coromandel is now a popular destination for ecotourism, offering visitors a blend of scenic landscapes and unique experiences.

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from Auckland CBD. Enjoy a scenic three-hour drive through the picturesque Waikato Region and the Bay of Plenty, with a stop along the way for stunning photo opportunities and any additional stops as needed.

Our first major attraction is the Driving Creek Railway, where you’ll embark on a fascinating 1-hour train ride. This journey includes navigating 2 spirals, 3 short tunnels, 5 reversing points, and several large viaducts as the train ascends to the Eyefull Tower. At the top, you’ll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views over the island-studded Hauraki Gulf.

Next, we head to the natural thermal mineral pools of Hot Water Beach. Here, you can enjoy a walk along the beach, a relaxing swim, or simply unwind in the natural hot springs. Remember to bring your swimming gear and a towel for this unique experience!

After relaxing at Hot Water Beach, we visit the Coastal Walkway at Cathedral Cove, one of New Zealand's most iconic coastal spots. Explore the stunning rock formations, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters that make Cathedral Cove a must-see destination.

After an amazing day exploring the Coromandel Peninsula, we will begin our return journey to Auckland central, ensuring you are dropped off at your accommodation.

Please note that the start time for this tour varies according to the tide timings at Hot Water Beach, ensuring you get the most out of your visit.
