Driving Creek Conservation Tour

Driving Creek’s Conservation Tour offers a unique chance to step into the forest and is a must-do activity in The Coromandel. By joining us, you help support Driving Creek’s not-for-profit mission to protect and restore native biodiversity.

Your one-hour guided walk takes you through regenerating native forest and into our 1.6-hectare predator-proof sanctuary. Along the way, discover cave wētā and glow worms, and learn how this once-degraded landscape has become home to rare species such as pāteke, geckos, and kiwi. Keep an eye out for tūī, North Island kākā, kererū, and pīwakawaka as your guide shares the story of our conservation work and enjoy a tea made from native tree leaves in a Nīkau grove.

This is a walking tour on unpaved tracks and stairs, so a moderate fitness level is required.
