Tour De Coromandel:
This fantastic weekend trip is a great way to get out of Auckland without needing a car. Why not spend the weekend cycling to the Coromandel. This 160 km cycling mission includes a train ride, a ferry ride, great scenery, quiet roads and hot pools. Why not see the country and get fit at the same time.

Whanganui River Trip:
The Whanganui River winds its way from the mountains of the central North Island out to the West Coast at Wanganui. With huts and campsites conveniently located along its banks and some impressive scenery the river is ideal for canoe travel. With just enough rapids to keep it interesting this is a safe, but fun, trip.

Pinnacles Hike:
Here’s a great little weekend trip. A ‘relatively easy’ hike through the Coromandel Forest Park, the chance to stay in a remote hiking hut and the opportunity to climb the jagged Pinnacles...

Kaimai Hike:
This is a good hike for the intermediate level hiker. Just South of the Coromandel Peninsular the Kaimai-Mamaku Forest Park is a long thin area of rugged native forest. The hike into Waitawheta Hut is the best walk in the park and offers a little bit of everything; river crossings, kauri trees, a 70 metre water fall, a little NZ logging history and a quality hut.

Kaimanawas Hike:
This is a great little hike for the more experienced hiker. East of Tongariro National Park lies the Kaimanawa Forest Park. While everybody heads to Tongariro the Kaimanawas offers something different. If you are looking for a real backcountry experience without the people then this two-day hike is a good one. It offers a variety of terrain (beech forest, open tops and river travel) and the chance to really get away from it.
