Located very close to Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove is a must see and do activity at Hahei in Coromandel, New Zealand. The best time to visit this attraction is during summer and autumn, but for a more secluded experience, winter and spring are recommended. If walking to Cathedral Cove, it is a good idea to hire snorkelling gear as the walk provides the opportunity to access Gemstone Bay and Mares Leg. Other ways of reaching Cathedral Cove is via a 1-hour boat tour or 3-hour kayak tour from Hahei Beach which offers the chance to see marine wildlife such as whales, dolphins, seals and penguins. Two car parks are available for parking.
