The Kauri Grove.
Here is your chance to see the type of tree that Karamana was built from.
These trees have been here for hundreds of years and are now protected. We highly recommend this short walk.

Hot Water Beach
The hot water flows out of the sand. You can dig your own hot tub. The centre of the stream is too hot so you will have to find a spot on the edge to let some cool water flow in. We will provide a shovel and beach towel. You can relax in an amazing natural phenomenon.
Hiking
There are hiking trails all over the peninsula. From short walks to all day hikes - we can find the trail that will suit your energy level. See the native bush up close and personal.
Take a Drive
Drive up to Colville (30 minutes) or to the top of the peninsula (1-1/2 hours). Along the way there are beaches, hiking and fantastic views.
We can arrange a bus tour for the very popular Coromandel Coastal Walkway Tour from Fletcher Bay to Stony Bay. You will be dropped off at one end and picked up at the other.

New Chums Beach
Voted as one of the top ten deserted beaches in the world, beautiful New Chums beach is just over the hill from Coromandel Town. Accessible only by foot, it is well worth the effort.
