Discover Hidden Trails and Glow Worm Caves

The Nature & Coast Tour is a true local favourite, offering a relaxed and enriching journey through the Coromandel’s natural and historical landscapes. Start by walking forgotten trails in an old gold mining town, where your Kiwi Dundee guide reveals stories from the past and hidden glow worm caves tucked deep in the forest. These magical spots bring the region’s mining heritage and native ecology together in the most captivating way.

As you wander through the native bush, you’ll learn about the plants, birds, and geology unique to the peninsula. Your guide adds depth with fascinating tales and a genuine connection to the land. It’s a nature walk full of surprises, charm, and insight that only locals can provide.

Coastal Wonders and Natural Treasures

From forest to sea, your adventure continues along Coromandel’s stunning coastline. Expect dramatic cliffs, white sand beaches, secluded beach caves, and Māori pā sites nestled among the landscape. A visit to the iconic Hot Water Beach adds a fun and memorable highlight to the day.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share personal finds like ancient Kauri gum, gold flecks, crystals, and petrified wood—all discovered locally. This hands-on experience gives a deeper appreciation of the region’s natural riches. It’s a scenic, soulful day out that goes far beyond the tourist trail.
