Please Note

Our tours run daily, but some experiences are dependent on tidal conditions. Hot Water Beach can only be visited when the tide timing is just right.

If you’re keen to dig your own hot pool in the sand and your chosen date doesn’t currently include Hot Water Beach, take a look at our Hot Water Beach Coromandel Tour instead. This tour is scheduled specifically around the tides and includes a visit to Hot Water Beach alongside other Coromandel favourites.

Amazing experience

Great day trip to Coromandel, hot water beach and Cathedral cove. Shout out to Ari, our driver and guide who was phenomenal! So friendly, energetic and knowledgeable. I would love to go with them on my next adventure in NZ and 100% recommend.

Fantastic day trip with a great driver guide who not only knew everything necessary to make our day amazing but also thought about the extras like the best coffee, lunch and ice cream stops! Thank you Simon!

Must see - Cam is your man

Cam is an absolute legend. Incredibly accommodating, even with late arrivals. Knowledgeable, a great storyteller. He repeats things a few times. Which is great, it ensured that we remember and don’t get lost. He remembered everyone’s name. Gave great moving saving tips. the local tour as we drove through Auckland's suburbs. I’m glad Cam was able to work on his day off, and I will definitely be coming back to see him again. To Cam’s bosses: His a keeper. Down to earth . Works hard And of course… love the beard. The Aussie and Canadian living in Vietnam.

Excellent tour

We had a really great tour. Dave our tour guide was well organised so the day ran smoothly even fitting in extra sights to see ! The day included everything we expected a more. Many thoughtful stops for food , the bathroom or to enjoy the scenery. At Cathedral Cove the tide was coming in but we arrived in plenty of time to enjoy this stunning location- thank you Dave. The walk down was very pleasant but being able to take the water taxi back was an added bonus ( but does have an extra cost). I would thoroughly recommend this tour and if Dave is your guide you are in for a treat and will learn so much more about Auckland and NZ , thank you !

Perfekt für jemand der sich gern bewegt und tolle Dinge sehen und erleben möchte

Viel zu laufen und das nicht gerade Langsam. Ziemliche Steigung vor alle beim ersten stop. Aber es lohnt sich. Der Ausblick ist sensationell. Alle drei stops waren Mega. Kann ich nur empfehlen

Canadians Love Your Tours

Dave went beyond the call of duty. Lots of interesting information. Just seemed to anticipate our needs. We took a couple of beautiful diversions. Took in all the sites on way to, from and beyond hot water beach. As Canadians we have many common concerns and interests.

A day filled with the most beautiful beaches.

Our excursion to Cathedral Cove and other beaches was an amazing experience. Our guide, Liam, was the best! He was very knowledgeable and really worked hard to make sure the whole group was comfortable and that our expectations were met. It was a day filled with spectacular scenery and was definitely a highlight of our visit to New Zealand.

Brilliant tour with greatest guide !

From the minute Cheeky Pearl arrived to pick us up, we knew we were going to have a good day. It was an early start and Pearl had obviously been on the go even earlier but she understood the mood of the passengers and soon got us motivated and chatting. She was a great drivers and negotiated all the winding roads to the Coramandel proficiently. She was a great guide and she got involved in all the activities so we felt we were with a friend. Anyone taking a tour with this girl are on to a winner. Excellent your, excellent guide.
