  • Coromandel Explorer Tour Nzd$4,400
    TOUR COSTS Twin/Double per person COROMANDEL EXPLORER TOUR NZD$4,400 Single Supplement NZD Tour Departs: 13 April 2021 $1,250 Tour Length: 8 Days The Coromandel, renowned for its pristine beaches, misty forests and laid-back vibe, is one of New Zealand's most popular holiday destinations. With a mountainous interior cloaked in native rainforest and more than 400 kilometres of dazzling white sand beaches, it is rustic, unspoiled and relaxed. The Coromandel Peninsula and islands are perhaps one of the earliest sites of occupation by Māori. Place names commemorate great navigators, including Kupe, who according to legend sailed here first, from Polynesia, and Hei, sailing master on the waka Te Arawa. Captain Cook made historic landfall here in 1769, to observe the transit of Mercury. From 1735 the great Kauri forests were milled, and the logging boom in the late 19th century saw the forests decimated. Now the Coromandel Forest Park covers about 73,000 hectares of the peninsula. Join us on this comprehensive tour for what will be a wonderful adventure, in comfort! TOUR HIGHLIGHTS: ❖ 2-nights total in Auckland, staying at the Viaduct, including a Welcome & Farewell Dinner ❖ 2-nights Coromandel, including Driving Creek Railway & Kauri Forest Experience and Northern Coromandel day tour ❖ 2-nights Whitianga, including visits to Cooks Beach, Mercury Bay, Hot Water Beach plus a Te Whanganui-a-Hei Marine Reserve Glass Bottom Boat tour and evening stargazing experience ❖ 1-night Pauanui, including in-depth bee-keeping experience ❖ Visit the Waihi Gold Discovery Centre and enjoy a scenic walk in Karangahake Gorge DAY TO DAY ITINERARY: Tuesday 13 April Arrive Auckland (D) Meet the group today in Auckland.
