The Coromandel Peninsula really is a playground for waterbabies, with the Firth of Thames leading north to Coromandel Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf on the west coast -- and glorious beaches and bays facing the Pacific Ocean on the east coast. There's opportunity to do all sorts of outdoor activities like canoeing and kayaking, as well as fishing, diving, snorkelling or just taking it easy on the beach.It's such a beautiful area to visit, and the water's getting warmer already. Book a Coromandel roadtrip -- check out the amazing offers on New Zealand campervan hire at http://campervanhiresalefinder.co.nz.
Here are some handy links for activities in the Coromandel:
And some visibility tips for kayakers, sourced from www.watersafe.org.nz:
- Your head is the highest point so make it as visible as possible - wear a fluoro orange or yellow hat
- Place reflective strips on your paddles - increasing your visibility during motion
- Wear a brightly coloured PFD (personal flotation device)
- Mount a pole at the rear to carry a high visibility flag
- Chose a craft with a bright colour - contrasting to the water - add strips of reflective tape

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
