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.

Awesome guide!

We had an amazing day exploring the Coromandel Peninsula and Hot Water Beach with Dave. As a local, he shared so many great insights, and he was friendly, caring and super easy to spend the day with. The beach he took us to for lunch was absolutely stunning such a highlight! He is well-travelled with lots of interesting knowledge and stories to share. Highly recommend it!!

Great Tour, Great Guide, Great Company - highly recommend!

Matt was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and super friendly! It was my birthday and the team went out of their way to make my day special. Scenery was absolutely spectacular. We couldn't have asked for more. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks for looking after us today Matt, and many thanks Cheeky Kiwi Travel for being a great company to deal with!

Awesome day with Trent

Had such a good day with Trent as our guide. Super easy to get along with and shared heaps of interesting stuff along the way without it feeling like a lecture or anything. He also showed us some really beautiful spots I definitely wouldn’t have found on my own.

Fantastic Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach tour

We had really nice trip to Coromandel Peninsula and Cathedral Cove aBeach today with our guide Simon. I really enjoyed the tour. Simon has very good sense of humor that invigorates the atmosphere. He was very informative and knowledgeable about things we saw and very caring. We got really lucky with weather as it was rain forecasted, but it rained once we re in the van. We had tremendous sunny moments at the beach that made it really memorable. The Cathedral Cove is spectacular and makes an impression. The Hot water Beach was amazing as it is an incredible experience to feel the hot sand and water knowing that beneath only 2,5km is real volcanic magma flow. It is just out of this world. Further the tour was good organized, on time, perfect pick up and drop off besides the heavy traffic back to Auckland. The van was comfortable what made the whole day touring very pleasant experience. I am happy that I will be going with Cheeky Kiwi on more tours in New Zealand. I highly recommend the tour, the company and their drivers. Well done 👍
