— Discover the beauty of Cathedral Cove
One of the most photographed spots in New Zealand, Cathedral Cove is famous for its dramatic sandstone archway, golden sand, and crystal-clear water. You can reach it by boat, kayak, or a walking track from Hahei, each offering stunning views of the coastline along the way.
Once there, relax on the beach, swim in the sheltered waters, or explore the marine reserve with a snorkel. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting the Coromandel and an experience that combines both natural beauty and adventure.
— Scenic drives, bike rides and adventure walks
Hit the road and discover the Coromandel Peninsula at every turn. The famed 309 Road, full of twists, forest, waterfalls, and kauri groves, is a hidden gem for curious adventurers. For a more complete loop, follow State Highway 25 through quaint towns like Thames, Coromandel, and Tairua, where coastal panoramas, native bush, and charming villages unfold with every mile.
Adventure seekers love the Pinnacles Track for its rewarding views; the steep hike reaches panoramic heights that make the effort unforgettable. Prefer something gentler? The Karangahake Gorge part of the Hauraki Rail Trail offers cycling or walking through lush forest, over old mining relics, and beside photogenic waterfalls like Owharoa Falls.
— Step back in time in Coromandel Town
About an hour’s drive from Whitianga, Coromandel Town is a laid-back spot with a rich gold-mining history and a thriving arts scene. Wander the main street to discover local galleries, craft shops, and cafés, or take a ride on the famous Driving Creek Railway — a narrow-gauge train that winds through regenerating native bush to spectacular views.
The town also makes a great base for exploring nearby beaches, forest walks, and scenic lookouts. With its mix of heritage charm and creative energy, Coromandel Town is well worth adding to your itinerary.
— Dig your own spa at Hot Water Beach
Just a short drive from Whitianga, Hot Water Beach is a unique geothermal wonder. At low tide, hot mineral water bubbles up through the sand, and visitors bring spades (or hire them locally) to dig their own natural spa pool right on the beach.
It’s a fun, social experience enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. With the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop and warm water under your feet, it’s an unforgettable way to spend a few hours on the Coromandel.
