Hot Water Beach

Uncover one of nature’s most unique coastal wonders with Great North Tours at Hot Water Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula. This world-famous destination sits atop a natural underground reservoir of geothermal water, allowing you to dig your very own therapeutic spa pool right in the sand during the two hours on either side of low tide. As the Pacific waves crash nearby, you can relax in the soothing, mineral-rich waters that bubble up from the Earth at temperatures as high as 64°C. Whether you’re joining the communal fun of "digging in" with a spade or simply enjoying the golden sands and rugged cliffs of this stunning surf beach, Hot Water Beach offers a truly magical, hands-on encounter with New Zealand’s volcanic soul.
