Großartiger Tag

Der Ausflug nach Coromandel war einfach fantastisch! Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Gegend wurden angefahren, trotzdem saß man nicht zu viel im Auto und hatte genügend Zeit alle Orte in Ruhe zu besuchen. Es hat an nichts gefehlt, die Bedürfnisse aller wurden berücksichtigt und man hatte nie das Gefühl, etwas zu vermissen. Auch unser Guide Clay war ein total gelassener cooler Typ, mit dem wir viel Spaß hatten. Vielen Dank für diese Erfahrung!

Wundervoller Tag

Im Großen und Ganzen ein gelungener Tag. Wir waren nur 5 Personen, was sich als sehr angenehm herausstellte. Unser Tourguide Clay war sehr freundlich und unterhaltsam. Das buddeln am Strand war anstrengenden, aber hat sich gelohnt! Dieser Trip ist eine Erfahrung für's Leben. Nur zu empfehlen!

Sehr coole Tour!

Unser Fahrer "Bones" war top. Er hat auf der Strecke sehr viel erzählt von den einzelnen Gebieten und Landschaften. Auch die drei Spots waren wirklich sehenswert. Einziges Manko war, dass es keine inkludierte Verpflegung gab, wobei im Restaurant der Burger wirklich sehr gut war.

Coromandel in einem Tag

Schöne kleine Gruppe. Clay, unser Reiseführer für den Tag, hat wirklich alles getan um uns das beste von Coromandel zu zeigen. Wir bekamen sogar noch einen Tag vorher eine Email mit den genauen Zeiten damit wir auch bei Ebbe an den Hot Water Beach sein konnten. Clay war super nett und man konnte sich gut mit im unterhalten. Wir hatten leider nicht viel Zeit Coromandel zu sehen daher war diese Tagestour perfekt für uns um alles wichtige zu sehen.
