Beaches that look like they're from a screensaver, and this Cathedral Cove spot – I half expected mermaids to pop up. Our little gang was cool, not too crowded, so vibes were chill. The guide knew the deal and threw in some local stories, which was like the cherry on top. All in all, if you're up for some legit nature beauty, that tour's a solid shout.

Unfortunately, we had rainy, windy and cloudy weather on the day of our tour. Despite this, the scenery was still great to see. Quite a few things didn't go to plan along the way, with the first pitstop on the drive closed on the day, the weather being too windy for the hot water beach to be enjoyable and experienced to the full and a car accident meaning we were stuck in a small town for a few hours waiting for the road to be reopened. Of course, all of these were unavoidable factors and our guide Michael handled these with confidence and got us home safely while trying to help the group have the best time possible. As others have noted, the walk to Cathedral Cove can be challenging and some families with small children did find this difficult at times, however the guide took things slow and supported the families.

We truly enjoyed this tour! We were picked up right on time by our Cheeky Kiwi guide Brendan who was amazing and very knowledgeable about all things Coromandel peninsula. A gorgeous day! Great commentary! Fabulous scenery!
Be sure to have good walking shoes with you as the walk to Cathedral cove is quite long and steep at the bottom. The cove itself is absolutely breathtaking. The countryside is beautiful. Brendan stopped a few times for breaks which all passengers appreciated. Be sure to wear your swimsuit under your garments to avoid delays at Hot Water Beach (although change rooms are available).
It was a great day!

Awesome excursion with an awesome tour guide, Brendan. One thing to note is that hike to Cathedral Cove does require a good level of fitness as the hike in and out is multiple steep cliffs

There are some cool sights in the Coromandel Peninsula, so this tour is definitely worth doing but here's a few helpful hints:
1. Bring a swimsuit and towel! Sandals or beach shoes are very helpful too.
2. Bring hiking shoes as part of the trip is up and down a LONG path to the beach and on a hot day, you will be worn out by the end! The guide said it was an easy path...it is NOT. Bring water, bring the right shoes, hiking clothes, and know that you are in for at least an hour hike in and then back out up and downhill both ways.
3. There is alot of driving to the sites so plan to have something to do.
4. BRING SUNSCREEN! And a hat.

This tour lived up to the hype & more , Brendan our guide showed us the best spot to dig for the hot water and wow it is super hot! Then we went to Cathedral Cove where the movie narnia was filmed, the walk is beautiful but sometimes hard, there is a water taxi back but it was not going this day :( Brendan showed us a secret cave you can only swim to truely amazing!! Highly recommend this experience to anyone I will be back to explore more of coromandel one day.

The sight were beautiful, there's no debating that, but the tour was poorly run.
Our van was nearly full, and the air circulation was poor. We were told if the a/C was used too much, it would freeze up. The "guide" had 2 different microphones and neither one worked, so the only people who heard any commentary were those in the front seats.
We visited Hot Water beach first. We then drove on to Cathedral cove. We were told were would be doing lunch around 1:30 pm after our visit.My husband and I hiked down to the beach, had a swim and hiked back up to the meeting point. We then proceeded to wait 50 more minutes before the guide showed up. Mind you, were were the oldest participants on this tour and never expected to be the first back. The guide never gave the group a meeting time, so everyone came back whenever.
Thirdly, we were pretty hungry at this point, as we had met the shuttle at 7 am. The guide takes us to a town with 5 or so lunch options. Sadly, all of them closed at 2 pm and it was now 3 pm. The only "dining venue" was a taco stand at a gas station. The guide should have known the restaurants would be closed and perhaps stopped for lunch BEFORE heading to Cathedral cove.
I would have much preferred to do this trip myself, but was unable to find a rental car available.
This was not a professionally executed tour. Too bad, as the scenery is truly stunning.

Despite some wet weather obstacles, our guide Simon was able to provide the trip we were promised. Loved seeing this part of New Zealand. Kudos to Simon and Cheeky Kiwi.
