Your tour starts as you cruise across the Hauraki Gulf on a 360 Discovery ferry to the relaxed, friendly Coromandel Town. Here you’ll be met by our coach for the scenic journey into town, during which you will learn about the region’s unique history from one of the locals.
You will then spend a leisurely hour in Coromandel Town visiting the cafes or browsing through shops filled with New Zealand made products. The next part of excursion sees you off to the eclectic Driving Creek Railway – where the old pioneering spirit is alive and well! A lifelong mission of potter Barry Brickell, the railway snakes its way through re-planted native bush to the 'Eyefull Tower' that offers breathtaking views of the harbour and hills.
The last stop on the tour is a visit to New Zealand's only working water-driven Gold Stamper Battery where rock is crushed to extract gold and silver. There's a lot to see. Then it’s back to the ferry for the return journey to Auckland.
The Coromandel Discovery tour is all inclusive and the price covers the return ferry, transfers into Coromandel Town, the land-based portion of the tour and entry to all attractions.
