This was a spectacular day! If you want to get away from it all, go to the Coromandel. George, our guide, was a wealth of information and we had a good laugh while seeing gorgeous scenery. Be prepared for some good hiking.

Fabulous trip, great guide (Jojo). We saw countryside, beautiful beaches, waterways, bush and country towns. There were 2 walks to break up the vehicle travel, both fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed this day. Highly recommend it if you want to see as much as possible in one day.

A Great Day out to Coromandel

My wife and I were collected very early in the morning by George in a minibus, with 2 other couples and a single, and taken to Hot Water Bay with a coffee stop along the way. George knew exactly where to dig for hot water for best effect. Great fun! Swimming costume required - you have to experience this! Changing facilities at the beach. Then after an early lunch we went to Cathedral Cove which was magnificent. This involved quite a long walk with a good climb back so be prepared for this; good walking shoes are recommended. Our final visit was to Mount Paku with a short but stiff climb to the top. Well worth the effort for the stunning 360 degree view from the top. George was very amusing and kept us entertained with anecdotes - some of which may have been a bit tall! But overall he was a great guide and clearly very knowledgeable about local flora, fauna and language. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Perfect way to squeeze in Coromandels highlights

I did this trip because I had some time solo and wanted to see Coromandel. George picked me up and he was super friendly and a really helpful/ positive host who catered the varied needs of the group well and also was able to find a weatherproof plan. I enjoyed all the stops, it was a great trip. I would have liked longer at certain spots but it is a day trip and it would be easy to fill a few days there.

I really liked this trip for it’s sights and photo opportunities. The ride was a bit bumpy (we were sitting in the back), but George was a good sport and took us where we wanted to be.
