Te Whanganui-A-Hei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve
Hahei is a stunning beach, flanked by tall New Zealand Christmas trees, and the islands along the coast form natural breakwaters, so visitors can swim, boat and fish in the sea with confidence. The northward stretch of coastline and islands next to a marine reserve make it a popular spot for diving and kayaking. Numerous coral reefs, caves, arches and soft sediments provide ideal habitats for a variety of plants, fish, mollusks and crustaceans.Hahei · 13km from Kaimarama
Hot Water Beach
Hot Springs Beach is located on the east coast of New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, east of Auckland. There is natural hot water on the beach, when the tide is high, there will be steam coming out of the sea near the shore, and when the tide is low, the hot water will be gushing out by digging holes in the sand. The scenery here is beautiful, the sea view, listening to the sea waves, and soaking in the hot spring are completely free, especially when you dig out the hot spring pool yourself to enjoy yourself, which is not only pleasant, but also endless fun.Hot Water Beach · 15.6km from Kaimarama

Waitomo Glowworm Caves
Waitomo Glowworm Cave is a limestone cave in the western mountainous area of the North Island of New Zealand, and it is also a scenic spot in New Zealand. Waitomo in Maori means "surrounded by green water". On the wall of the cave, dotted green light dots are layered upon layer upon layer. These green lights flicker on the black water, and the light and shadow are doubled. This is a wonderful world belonging to the green elves. 1. Three caves with different characteristics make up the Glowworm Cave The Glowworm Cave is mainly composed of three caves with different characteristics, Waitomo Glowworm Cave, Ruakuri Cave and Alanui Cave. The Glowworm Cave is a stalactite cave with a history of more than 10,000 years. There was a small ice-covered lake on the mountain of this cave. After the ice and snow melted, it flowed into the cracks in the rock formation below, and gradually eroded into the current cave. Cathedral Cave inside the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, this huge cave is known for its echoes of space. Ruakuri Cave is a legendary underground cave where the sound of water from an underground waterfall can be heard. The entrance of Alanui Cave is the visitor center, and the vaulted greenhouse with membrane structure is very imposing. 2. Thousands of glowworms enter the cave for a tour. You need to take a boat to enter the depths of the cave. After getting on the boat, the guide will pull the guide rope above to push the boat forward. The strange spot of light in the cave is the light emitted by thousands of fireflies. You will find patches of green and white light on the rocks. Looking closely, there are jagged translucent filaments hanging from the ceiling of the cave under the light and shadow. The silk has clear water droplets like a curtain of crystal beads. These beautiful filaments with slime are the firefly's fishing tool to attract and prey on light-following insects. This firefly has only been found in New Zealand and Australia. 3. Black Labyrinth Tour, Abyss Tour and Odyssey Tour In addition to the "black water rafting" in the Glowworm Cave, if you are brave enough and your endurance is good enough, you can also experience the Black Labyrinth Tour organized by the legendary black water rafting company , Journey to the Abyss and Journey to the Odyssey. These three journeys will take 3-5 hours respectively, and will involve rock climbing in caves, abseiling, and rafting on tires. Of course, if you participate in these tours, you can not only enjoy free hot showers, but also delicious hot soup and local New Zealand pancakes for you to enjoy. Plus, get a free visit to the Waitomo Caves Museum.New Zealand · Waitomo Caves

Hahei and Cathedral Bay are places that are worth visiting in Coromandel. The bay here is very long, and there are many reefs protruding from the sea on the beach. They are of various shapes and sizes, giving people endless imagination. There are not many tourists here, so it is a great place to take pictures.

It's worth going. When you walk onto the hot beach, you can immediately scoop out hot water. Remember, it's hot. !!! It was scalding hot. I almost got burned. Fortunately, the sea water cooled down immediately.

Hobbiton was an amazing experience with beautiful scenery, charming surroundings and incredible attention to detail. The entire place was well maintained, and walking through the village felt like stepping into a magical world. The lush green hills, iconic hobbit holes and picturesque landscapes made the visit truly memorable.What I appreciated most was how accommodating and considerate the staff were towards my friend with OKU (disability) needs. Their willingness to assist and ensure my friend could enjoy the experience made a real difference. It was wonderful to see a popular tourist attraction making an effort to be inclusive and welcoming to visitors with different needs.The surroundings were absolutely stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take beautiful photos and appreciate the unique atmosphere of the village. Every corner had something interesting to discover, and the scenery made the entire visit enjoyable .

This activity is a little thrilling, quite good, and very safe; I checked the safety belt several times. Originally, besides bungee jumping, there was also a skywalk, but due to unclear information in the travel advertisement, we only did the bungee jumping. There weren't many people doing it now. Afterwards, you get a free tour of the Sky Tower.

Waiau should be a Māori name. I don’t know its meaning. The location of Waiau is in the north of Canterbury.

New Zealand has a long and winding coastline. Kayaking in the sea is more risky than in inland rivers or lakes, but this just fits the New Zealanders' national characteristics of seeking excitement.

The guide was so fun and knowledgeable, and everything went smoothly. It was all so beautiful and immersive — I felt completely drawn into the experience. The only downside was that there were no photos, but honestly, that was also one of the best parts! I was able to be fully present and really enjoy it.
