Te Tara-o-Te-Ika / Coromandel Peninsula Must-Sees

The Coromandel Peninsula features diverse landscapes ranging from the white sands of Cathedral Cove and the geothermal springs of Hot Water Beach to the rugged volcanic peaks of the Kauaeranga Valley. This collection highlights the region's industrial heritage at the Martha Mine and Thames School of Mines, alongside unique engineering feats like the Driving Creek Railway. Natural landmarks include the Waiau Falls and the challenging Pinnacles track, which follows historic kauri logging routes through dense native bush.
