heading to Coromandel

discover the coromandel

Just a short 2 hour cruise from downtown Auckland and with its unique character and laid-back lifestyle, the Coromandel Peninsula offers attractions to suit everyone whether you’re visiting just for the day or longer.

There is always something to see and do, including the  Driving Creek Railway and Potteries, the Waterworks, beautiful landscape attractive to walkers and cyclists, and of course the friendly Coro-style hospitality offering fresh local seafood and catering for all tastes.

Stop by one of the nearby stunning beaches (Whangapoua Beach, New Chums Beach, Hot Water Beach, Kuaotunu, Whitianga) for family swimming and picnics. For a bit more of an adventure, stay longer and explore Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach, Coromandel’s most famous attractions or the remote splendour of the Northern Coromandel.

360 Discovery survey period

From now until mid-October our vessels will enter their winter survey period. This is where all of our vessels undergo inspection and we carry out any necessary repairs - you may have noticed that D7 was removed from service at the beginning of the week. We’ll be taking one vessel out of service at a time, and D6 will cover the majority of our vessels when this happens.

Whilst D7 is on survey, Discovery 3 will replace her, we do anticipate that the 16:45 AKL-Gulf Harbour service to operate close to capacity. To avoid disappointment, we encourage you to travel on D6 and Takahe on the 17:15 and 17:45 AKL-GH services

We’ll be closely monitoring passenger numbers and the capacity of each vessel during this time, and we’ll keep you updated when we can.

Kind Regards,

Jimbo
