Sunbathe on golden sandy beaches, hike through beautiful native forests and stay in many attractive small towns when visiting this peninsula.

Coromandel Peninsula, more commonly known as The Coromandel, is a region of exceptional natural beauty. Swim or surf in pristine blue-green water at many secluded beaches. With dense, misty forests and impressive mountainous valleys, The Coromandel is perfect for outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and boating.

Dig your own spa pool in the sand at Hot Water Beach. The beach is famous for its natural springs occurring 2 hours either side of low tide. The phenomenon is due to nearby underground fissures that filter hot water to the surface. Hot Water Beach also features excellent cafés and art galleries.

Drive from Hot Water Beach to Cathedral Cove in about 10 minutes. The naturally formed archway is one of the region’s highlights. Reach the secluded site via a walking track or by kayak. Cathedral Cove is also an excellent place to swim, dive, picnic and sunbathe.

Thames, known as the rural centre of the peninsula, contains many cafés, restaurants and boutique shops. With lodges and self-catered apartments, the former gold-mining town is a great place to stay when exploring the peninsula. Learn about the town’s early Māori history or plan a trip to the nearby Kauaeranga Valley.

The Pinnacles Track (Kauaeranga Kauri Trail) is an excellent way to view The Coromandel’s magnificent natural beauty. Known as one of New Zealand’s best overnight hiking trails, the Pinnacles Track meanders through the rugged Kauaeranga Valley, just upstream from Thames. Reserve a spot in Pinnacles Hut, a serviced 80-bunk building, if you wish to complete the track over 2 days.

Find Thames about 115 kilometres (70 miles) from AucklandOpens in a new window. With luxury hotels, resorts and affordable lodges, Whitianga is also a great place to stay when visiting the peninsula. Plan your trip to The Coromandel in advance to get the most out of this magnificent natural region.

When visiting The Coromandel, pack suitable hiking shoes and clothing so you can experience some of New Zealand’s most beautiful natural areas.
