Named after a peninsula, the town of Coromandel on the Coromandel harbor is a popular summer destination for the New Zealanders. Cloaked in native rainforests and surrounded by mountainous terrain, the town is a great break from the constant buzz of the city and its unspoiled nature makes it even more attractive.

Whether you're drawn to fishing, hiking, kayaking, or diving, this unspoiled destination provides the perfect city getaway.

We had a wonderful experience with Pickyourtrail, and this was our second trip with them. From the booking process right until the end of the trip, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. The package was also offered at a very reasonable cost. What impressed us the most was their excellent coordination and support throughout the trip. Every day, their team would call and check if everything was going well, which gave us a lot of confidence while travelling. Their coordination with the local vendors, hotels, transfers, and other arrangements was truly top-notch. We stayed at two hotels during the trip. The first one was extraordinary. The second hotel was a little congested for our requirements, so we decided to upgrade. Pickyourtrail was supportive even there and provided partial payment towards the upgrade, which we really appreciated. This was the only small issue we faced during the entire trip. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Their responsiveness, coordination, and customer support made the journey much more comfortable. This was our second trip with Pickyourtrail, and definitely not our last! Looking forward to planning our next travel with them.

Overall good experience. A waterfall was planned in the schedule. But couldnt go there because the distance was huge to go from the previous place. Could improve a bit on the itinerary based on travelling . Otherwise all other planning, hotel stay, Transportation, everything was so good and excellent.
