Hot Water Beach

Dig your own natural spa in the sand with Great North Tours at the Coromandel’s world-famous Hot Water Beach. Within two hours of low tide, an underground river of geothermally heated water bubbles up through the golden sand, allowing you to scoop out a personal hot pool just meters from the crashing Pacific surf. Whether you're relaxing in the therapeutic, mineral-rich waters or simply taking in the dramatic coastal scenery, this DIY thermal experience is one of New Zealand's most unique natural wonders. Grab a spade, check the tide chart, and soak in the ultimate "beachside" luxury found only in this volcanic paradise!
