Coromandel Beach, Caves & Forest Private Tour

What your day looks like

The Coromandel Peninsula, once known primarily for its hardrock gold mining and kauri industries, has transformed into a tourism hotspot, especially for ecotourism enthusiasts. Set out on a boat adventure through the marine reserve’s coastal islands, reefs, and impressive sea caves, including the iconic Cathedral Cove, blowholes, and locations featured in The Chronicles of Narnia. As you cruise, keep an eye out for dolphins, seals, and little blue penguins – sightings are possible but not guaranteed. Marvel at the legendary volcanic landscapes, enhanced by the informative commentary that brings the natural history of this area to life. Next, enjoy a scenic 1-hour train journey on the Driving Creek Railway, climbing through lush terrain to the Eyeful Tower, where you’ll be treated to panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf and its picturesque islands. Then, dig your own spa pool at the famous Hot Water Beach, where two natural hot springs bring mineral-rich water to the surface at temperatures up to 64°C (147°F) and a flow rate of up to 15 liters per minute. These springs contain high levels of salt (not seawater), calcium, magnesium, potassium, fluorine, bromine, and silica – perfect for a one-of-a-kind natural spa experience. Please note that start times for this tour depend on tide schedules at Hot Water Beach. Please notify us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.
