5.00The tour was lovely! Even with an early start, it was a great way to spend a day on vacation. The hot water beach and the cathedral cove were both amazing, just prepare for the treck to the Cove (about 20 minutes on a trail that changes to some steep inclines throughout). The best part was our tour guide/ driver Mary, who was very personable and was lovely to chat with as we travelled to and from Auckland.
Excellent Tour

5.00This was a great tour. Both beaches were amazing. We loved the nature and the scenery at the Cathedral cove. Karthik gave us all the details about the area and its history. The timing was perfect, so we get the best experience depending on tides.

From the breathtaking views of the Coromandel coast to the once in a life time experience of Hot water beach, every moment of this trip is packed with unforgettable scenery and experiences. Martyn's sincere love for and finessed knowledge of the area as well as attentive care for his passangers were the cherry on top of already unforgettable trip. Well organized truly small group trip.

5.00The Coromandel Peninsula experience trip for the day was one-of-a-kind and something we won’t forget! The attractions selected were a nice variety with the train ride through the mountains was great! The walk to Cathedral Cove was beautiful the whole way and the beach was stunning! Our tour guide, Karthik really made the experience memorable. He was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. The van was very clean and comfortable with plenty of water & snacks. It was a great day trip from Auckland and one we are all glad we did so we could see these attractions and have a great day!
