Description:

Explore the natural beauty of Coromandel Peninsula, with its rugged mountains, acres of native forest, and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Ride the Driving Creek Railway, walk through the rainforest, and soak in thermal pools at Hot Water Beach.

Across the Hauraki Gulf from Auckland lies the unspoiled environment of the Coromandel Peninsula. Drive along a stunning coastal road to Thames, where you hop into a train to chug up the Driving Creek Railway, a track that winds through a native kauri forest and sculpture garden to a mountaintop station aptly nicknamed the Eyefull Tower.

Take a moment to enjoy the diversity of trees and plants on the forest floor with a delightful stroll, serenaded by birdsong. Continue for lunch at a beachside location, and then take a take a breaking dip at Hot Water Beach. Warm water seeps up through the soft sands here, so you can dig your very own hot tub along the shore and let the warm waters soothe your muscles.

Your tour comes to a picturesque conclusion at Cathedral Cove, where the charming white sand beach runs through a majestic natural arch flanked by sheer cliffs.
