My favorite trip on the North Island so far was our girls weekend in the Coromandel Peninusla. Located just around the eastern coast from Auckland, we spent a long weekend exploring many of the beautiful hikes this area boasts. New Zealand's natural beauty never ceases to amaze, and I haven't even gotten to the South Island yet! Hahei, New Chums, and Hot Water BeachesCathedral CoveNext stop was a hike along the coastline known as Cathedral cove. Stunning little beaches with the gorgeous color of the water - and the ever-present bizzare rock formations. We had the perfect day for exploring! The PinnaclesThe denouement - this epic hike was the reason for our journey to the Coromandel! 3 hours (one-way) to the most incredible views of an untouched national park. The rainforest walk was beautiful in its own right, but the last half-hour of this hike was the most enjoyable. Scaling the mountain face to reach the top of the Pinnacles range was an awesome adventure - ladder rungs were actually drilled into the rock in order to climb to the top! One of the best experiences I've had so far for sure. That's all for this post!! Sorry I'm a little bit behind guys - but I will be updating soon! My next post will be all of my photos from my week-long trip to the South Island!! Stay tuned....
