Hahei is located on the Coromandel Peninsula on the northern shore of New Zealand’s North Island. This small village situated within Mercury Bay makes a fantastic holiday destination with its white sandy beaches, spectacular rock formations, geothermal springs and marine wildlife preserves to explore. There is much to see and do in Hahei, but key activities include the Cathedral Cove Walk (which passes beneath an enormous limestone arch); the Gemstone Bay Snorkel Trail, with descriptions of sea life attached to floating buoys to enhance your experience; and swimming at Hot Water Beach, where two hot springs warm the ocean water.
