Day 2: Cathedral Cove & Hot Water Beach
2026-11-03 · Hahei → Hahei
16 mi · 26 km · 24m @40mph
Morning kayak tour through the Cathedral Cove marine reserve — paddling under the arch beats walking to it. Afternoon at Hot Water Beach (10 minutes away): dig a personal thermal spa in the sand within two hours of low tide. Beers at The Pour House to finish.

In Hahei base plan
- Hahei Holiday Resort holiday-park
Beachfront powered site, five minutes' walk to the Cathedral Cove kayak launch. Freedom camping is tightly restricted on this coast, so this is a deliberate two-night holiday-park start — kind to the jet lag. Book ahead.
