Discover the Coromandel Peninsula your way with two unique small-group tours.

Cathedral Cove & Hot Water Beach Tour – Operates only when tide times allow, giving you the chance to dig your own spa at the world-famous Hot Water Beach (bring a towel & swimwear!).

Coastal Adventure Tour – Runs on alternate days, following the same stunning coastal journey and highlights—including Cathedral Cove—without Hot Water Beach.

Tours operate daily, with itineraries based on tidal conditions. If your preferred tour is unavailable, check the alternate option— both tours include Mautohe Cathedral Cove, one of the world’s Top 50 Beaches!

Whichever option you choose, enjoy breathtaking scenery, secret stops, and the Cheeky Kiwi Travel difference: small groups, passionate guides, wildlife encounters, and thoughtful little touches that make our tours unforgettable.

Access to Cathedral Cove is weather-dependent; alternative stops may be arranged in poor conditions.

    Enjoyed the day. Was unfortunate that we missed the low tide for the hot water beach. Low tide was 8:30am and we would have had a window of one hour on each side to be able to dig in the warm sand for the hot water. Unfortunately we arrived at 10:30am and tide was already coming in at that point so missed out on that activity. Beautiful scenery along the way

    There is a lot of walking with significant hills, and stairways without rails. The description of the tour should include more on that it is fairly strenuous. We enjoyed the trip and would do it again.

  • Amazing!!!

    We had a great experience with this tour. This is a must do if you are in Auckland area. Matt was very good and coordinated it very well. He kept us engaged and treated like a family.
