Three Day Walk Itinerary

Walk our spectacular private coastal trails at your own pace, with plenty of time to stop, take in the views and enjoy the journey.

Pahi Coastal Walk circumnavigates the northern tip of the Coromandel Peninsula over three days and two nights, crossing private farmland, native bush and coastal track with a view of the sea for almost the whole way.

Only moderate fitness is required, and you're welcome to walk at your own pace. We'll transport your pack between each night's accommodation, so you only need to carry a light day pack on the trail.
