Expert Tips

“On the Coromandel Peninsula, near Mercury Bay, you’ll find the famous Hot Water Beach. At low tide this tourist ‘hotspot’ turns into one big spa pool where you can dig into the sand to create your own hot bath!”

“If you’re exploring New Zealand by car or motorhome, take a detour on your way south and stop off at Huka Falls between Wairakei and Taupo. The area has some of the most powerful and bluest waterfalls I have ever seen.”
