Fresh air, spectacular views and walks to suit every level of fitness are on offer to those keen to explore The Coromandel on foot. Many of the walks are on conservation land, so they are well-maintained and signposted.
Enjoy the sweet, fresh scent of native New Zealand plants, dense and damp under a lush green canopy, or take in the wide open Pacific Ocean vista dotted with islands off The Coromandel coast before heading down to an isolated rocky bay or sweeping ocean beach.
We have some tips for heading out to walk our trails and to help us take care of our big backyard:
