The Coromandel packs rugged forested ranges, winding coastal roads and remote bays into one compact peninsula, making it a favourite for 4WD touring. The 4WD tracks here range from steep backcountry routes through native bush near the Kauaeranga and Puketui valleys to scenic drives out to far-flung beaches and headlands at the northern tip. Expect narrow gravel, tidal crossings and big sea views.
