Coromandel Peninsula
Location
The Coromandel Peninsula lies east of Auckland, across the Hauraki Gulf.
General
Looking across the Hauraki Gulf from Auckland, the north of the Coromandel Peninsula can be seen on the horizon. Although only 90 minutes from Auckland, the Coromandel feels like it's a world away.
Main Attractions / Activities
The jagged, volcanic hills of the Coromandel Peninsula still retain much of their original rainforest, including giant kauri trees. Although there are great hiking trails in the forested hills, probably the greatest attraction is its spectacular coastline of sandy beaches, coves and harbours that provide boundless opportunities for fishing, boating and swimming. There's even a beach with warm water bubbling up through the sand that allows bathers to scoop out their own spas.
The Coromandel's history is reflected in charming colonial architecture and historic buildings found in the small towns around the region, which had their heyday in the mid-1800s following the discovery of gold.

Bay of Plenty
Location
Coastal Bay of Plenty lies east of the Kaimai-Mamaku Ranges and south of the Coromandel peninsula.
General
This region seems to have it all - a mild, sunny climate, some of the country's most popular beaches and an abundance of orchards, especially citrus and kiwifruit. The main centre, Tauranga, has all the amenities of a major city. Holiday accommodation ranges from high-class lodges, B&B, Retreats and farmstays to holiday parks and backpacker hostels, both in the city and across the harbour at the beach resort of Mount Maunganui.
Main Attractions / Activities
Mount Maunganui, with its prominent volcanic cone that gives it its name, is popular with surfers. It's also a very popular family holiday spot having a choice of both ocean and gentle harbour beaches.
Boat charters are available from Tauranga for big game fishing, snorkelling, dolphin watching or just cruising. Out on the horizon is White Island, an active volcano usually identified by its trailing plume of steam. Helicopter trips land on the island from Rotorua and Whakatane, along with boat trips also from Whakatane.
There are a number of challenging activities in the area, including tandem parachute jumping, sky diving, a hair-raising ride in a bungee rocket and rafting down the Wairoa River, one of the most spectacular stretches of white water in the country.
