Discover the Coromandel Peninsula your way with two unique small-group tour options. Cathedral Cove & Hot Water Beach Tour – Operates only when tide times allow, giving you the chance to dig your own spa at the world-famous Hot Water Beach (bring a towel & swimwear!). Coastal Adventure Tour – Runs on alternate days, following the same stunning coastal journey and highlights—including Cathedral Cove—without Hot Water Beach. Tours operate daily, with itineraries based on tidal conditions. If your preferred tour is unavailable, check the alternate option— both tours include Mautohe Cathedral Cove, one of the world’s Top 50 Beaches! Whichever option you choose, enjoy breathtaking scenery, secret stops, and the Cheeky Kiwi Travel difference: small groups, passionate guides, wildlife encounters, and thoughtful little touches that make our tours unforgettable. Access to Cathedral Cove is weather-dependent; alternative stops may be arranged in poor conditions.

The Driving Creek Railway isn’t just a scenic ride, it’s a journey through one man’s lifelong vision of creativity and conservation. Every bridge, tunnel, and curve was hand-built by local potter and engineer Barry Brickell, turning an artist’s dream into a living, working masterpiece. Today, the forest that once surrounded his workshop has flourished into a protected sanctuary filled with birdsong and native bush. With sweeping views from the EyeFull Tower and stories shared by your guide, this tour connects art, nature, and Kiwi ingenuity in a way you won’t find anywhere else.
