A highlight is the torpedo fishing. Curious? Greg and Ali will provide you with more information and answer all your questions. However, those that prefer firm ground to the bobbing waves also have a host of leisure time options to choose from.
Keep heading north at the beach's far end and you will discover delightful trails that take you to hidden bays just perfect for enjoying a quiet picnic. Alternatively, visit one of the local artists and admire New Zealand craftsmanship in the making.
Rotorua is not far away and certainly worth a visit. The Pohutu Geyser and the steaming thermal field at Whakarewarewa are two of the main attractions. Later, stop by the unique Maori Academy and learn more about the ancient people's culture, arts and crafts.
Another recommendation goes to the impressive Karangahake Gorge, which forms a natural division between the Coromandel and the Kaimai Ranges at Coromandel Peninsula's south end.
As you might have guessed, the name Karangahake was adopted from the Maori language. It translates into “warning call from the other side” and can be explained by the scouts the Maori used to position along the hills lining the river.
A two hour drive separates you from New Zealand's largest city: beautiful Auckland. Today, Auckland boasts an inspiring skyline. The Maori, however, still affectionately call it “a beauty with one hundred lovers”.
Become the one hundred and first: Stroll the extensive parks or visit one of the many marinas peppered with gently rolling sailing yachts. It is not without reason that Auckland is also known as the “City of Sails”.
