The Coromandel Coast Private Tour will take you to one of the most stunning areas of New Zealand. Formerly known largely for its Hardrock Gold Mining and Kauri, the Coromandel is now popular for tourism, especially ecotourism.

Enjoy a boat trip to see the incredible islands, reefs, blowholes, bays and the impressive sea cave at Cathedral Cove, where parts of the Narnia film took place. This area is also home to various marine life, including dolphins, little blue penguins and fish (not guaranteed)

Then take in the beautiful bush scenery on the 1-hour train ride at the Driving Creek Railway. Once at the top, you will be in awe of the panoramic views over the islands. Before you head back to Auckland, you will get the unique experience of digging your very own private natural spa pool at the famous Hot Water Beach.

Note: we can also offer transfers to charter boats, seaplane or Helicopter on request.
** Note that the tour’s start time may vary based on tide times at Hot Water Beach.
