Experience the best of the Coromandel Peninsula on this small-group, fully guided day trip from Auckland. Designed with a relaxed pace, this tour gives you time to explore two of New Zealand’s most iconic coastal destinations, Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach. With expert local guides, modern transport, and plenty of cheeky charm along the way, it’s a day packed with stories, scenery, and unforgettable moments. From digging your own natural spa to walking one of the world’s top beaches, this tour is pure Kiwi magic.

Please Note

Our tours run daily, but the itinerary can vary depending on tidal conditions. Hot Water Beach is only included on dates where the tide timing allows for a proper visit.

If your preferred date is showing as unavailable, it usually means Hot Water Beach isn’t accessible that day. Simply take a look at our Alternate Coromandel Tour, which still showcases the region’s must-see highlights, including Cathedral Cove, just without the Hot Water Beach stop.
