Blaze your own trail this summer and discover the hidden gems of the Coromandel by following our brand new, info-packed digital Coromandel Tracks and Trails Guide.
This digital guide builds on our much-loved printed version — but with smarter features and no app required. View it straight from your phone: enjoy interactive maps, discover walking or riding routes, and use simple navigation tools to explore the Coromandel your way.
The guide allows you to ‘follow your sole’ by choosing your path by mode of travel: hiking boot, sneaker, jandal, stiletto (yes), cycle, dog paw or horse hoof, in addition to searching via geographical area.
There’s something for everybody – short, easy walks around towns exploring art and culture; paths to gorgeous swimming spots; more challenging hikes with spectacular views; cycle trails and routes where you can walk your dog or ride a horse.
This guide is packed full of ideas to inspire people to get active and explore our beautiful backyard. It also showcases what the district has to offer visitors – whether from within Aotearoa New Zealand or overseas.
Our district relies heavily on the visitor economy, and our Council believes this guide will play a vital role in enhancing that visitor experience, persuading out-of-towners to stay an extra night or two and contribute to the district’s hospitality and tourism industry.
Importantly, for ratepayers, the digital guide has a far longer lifespan than the old printed version. It can be updated at any time. It eliminates annual printing costs and delivers a significantly improved user experience.
The walks and rides featured are a mix of Thames-Coromandel District Council and Department of Conservation-managed trails, with a few privately-managed trails. Our Council is grateful for the assistance of the Department of Conservation in providing information and links to its trails. It also acknowledges the importance of iwi connection to, and ownership of, whenua | land, and contains a key section on taiao| the environment and kaitiakitanga | guardianship.
Re-boot your summer. Dip into Coromandel Tracks and Trails Guide, explore our fantastic backyard and share it to entice your out-of-town friends and whānau to stay and play these holidays. We encourage you to follow your sole.
