Trade Auckland's city streets for the beaches, forests and coastline of the Coromandel.

Travel with Aaliannz Tours from Auckland through the scenic Waikato countryside before entering the Coromandel Peninsula, where beautiful beaches, native landscapes and dramatic coastal scenery await.

Spend the day discovering the coastline around Hahei and Cathedral Cove, then experience the natural wonder of Hot Water Beach, where geothermal water rises through the sand around low tide. Along the way, enjoy a picnic-style lunch and time to slow down, take photographs and enjoy the scenery.

With comfortable transport, Auckland pickup and a local Aaliannz driver-guide, this full-day escape gives you the freedom to enjoy the Coromandel without having to worry about driving, navigation or planning the route.
