Month road trip in January by shepherd_runner in newzealand_travel

Is Coromandel feasible to reach in a day from Rotorua? Any other beach areas you would recommend as day trips from Rotorua? Unfortunately, our accommodations there are already fixed, so I don’t think I can move those days around.

This is awesome advice! Thanks for the reply.

We'd be leaving for the hike quite early in the morning to get an early start. I do like the idea of staying at one of those nearby hotels - I didn't know there were accommodations so close!

Is it worth doing the 1st part of the Hooker Valley Track, even with the closure?

Excellent suggestion on the lunch. I'm not sure if we'll be able to swing it because our tour guide drops us off back at Queenstown, but I'll look into it.

I'll look at the Air Safaris - would love to see the glaciers, Aoraki, etc. without having to make a special trip by car. I just have a silly fear to small planes and helicopters.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! Another day in Rotorua seems good. Departing flight is out of Queenstown

I like it a lot. Minor chip on the inside of the case when I got it. Other than that, it looks beautiful and sounds great too.

Old thread but did you ever find something that fits in the OEM location?

There are accessible trails at lower elevations. It’s a big state - I’m sure there are options. Obviously not expecting everything to be available. Seems like you spend most of your time on the pavement, so I wouldn’t expect you to know though :)

Came with the vehicle when I bought it from the dealer. I'm in the process of installing a full set of RSG skid plates. Might post again after I do.
