The Coromandel Peninsula is a ferry ride for an hour to three-hour drive away from Auckland. It’s again a weekend escape from the busy lives of the cities of New Zealand’s North Island. This also offers up a mesmerizing combination of beaches, fishing villages and has great hiking options with the mountainous spine splitting the peninsula in half.

The visit will be incomplete without trying out the Coromandel town’s famous smoked mussels, soaking the day away in your own private and personally dug spa at the Hot water Beach, or getting a real taste of KIWI ingenuity at the Driving Creek Railway

#3. Lake Taupo
