Regarded by many as one of New Zealand's best coastal walks, the Coromandel Coastal Walkway should be on the list if you enjoy getting off the beaten track and exploring spectacular coastlines and remote landscapes. Whether you're a keen walker, photographer, or just enjoy a good story this is well worth parking your vehicle up for the day and experiencing The Coromandel's last frontier through the lens of one of our legendary local guides!

This famous 3-4 hour walk links the East and West coast roads together along a bridle path used for centuries by the Maori and European settlers.

Departing Coromandel Town or Whitianga, you'll learn about the abundant history, wildlife and geology from local guides as you travel before starting your walk at Stony Bay. Travelling westwards, the vistas continue to expand throughout the day.

The track climbs gradually through native forest with beautiful glimpses of the coastline on the way to the lookout. From here the tree canopy opens to the coastal clifftops and spellbinding views to great Barrier Island. The final stage is a picturesque downhill stroll through coastal farmland to Fletcher Bay where everyone enjoys the refreshments at the end of their walk!
