Set for a great summer. ![]() Hauraki CoromandelTrade Update - November 2023Kia Ora, and Hello!Things are shaping for a great holiday season and our businesses are enjoying welcoming returning guests after the tranquility of the cooler months. The Pacific Coast Highway around the peninsula remains the recommended scenic touring route but SH25a adds a more direct route to eastern towns if time is short. The east-west route across the peninsula, SH25a will reopen before Christmas having been closed for some months for repairs. The walking tracks to Cathedral Cove will remain closed this summer, but with a good number of trade-ready operators offering tours across the marine reserve to see this iconic place, you can be assured that your guests will not be disappointed. There is so much more to experience along this labyrinthine coastline in addition to the famous bay!

Sustainability and Community ContributionOne of New Zealand's top dive companies with access to amazing underwater sites: Mercury Islands, Aldermen Islands, Cathedral Cove and its Marine Reserve included. Dive Zone Whitianga is a finalist in the regional business awards. Top pick for ticketed divers or those wanting to learn and scuba train, kids too. New from Hike & Bike CoromandelGuests can now choose the length of their hike and add in a return e-bike option down the coastal road, which is proving very popular. The Coastal Walkway is one of our iconic walks, but you should book a guide as the trip up there will be much more enjoyable, and the road is not suitable for rental cars. A better Hauraki Coromandel
