Day 46 Hahei Beach

We have 2.5 days left so we decide to visit the Coromandel Peninsula on the way back to Auckland. We pick Hahei Beach to spend 2 nights. It is right on the beach and close to Cathedral Cove, a much see in New Zealand along with a hot water beach that you can visit at low tide. Before we head out to Hahei we hike up to the lookout for the highest waterfall in NZ North Island, Wairere Falls and then continue on up to the summit looking down over the falls. We climb continually for about 75 minutes, on man made steps and over natural rock steps. We meet several local hikers and get some local info.
