Kawhia Hot Water Beach, New Zealand [DJI Drone]
Kawhia is a peaceful beachside town steep in Maori history, and is the final resting place for the voyaging Tainui Waka (canoe). This heritage is illustrated not only in the community of Kawhia but in the world famous Kawhia Kai Festival – held in February each year the Kawhia Kai Festival is a celebration of Maori Cuisine, culture, and traditions and draws crowds from near and far. Lonely Plant listed the Kawhia Kai Festival in the Top 10 Indigenous events for overseas visitors and tourists to attend.
The off-the-beaten-track and somewhat untouched nature of Kawhia provides for the perfect destination to escape to. The Kawhia Harbour is great for a spot of fishing as well as off the wharf. On a hot summer’s day you will often find local children jumping off the wharf to cool off.
Kawhia Hot Water Beach Location:
Directions: Drive to the end of Ocean Beach Road (ask one of the friendly locals if you have trouble finding this road)
Park in the car park and walk over the sand dunes down onto ocean beach.
Hot Water Beach - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year - Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 8: We’re digging our own hot pool at Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel! That’s today’s activity on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year where we do 365 Days: 365 Activities.
Yesterday - Day 7 -
Tomorrow – Day 9 –
About this video:
We’re in the Coromandel region of New Zealand! Today’s activity is to dig our very own hot pool at Hot Water Beach. An underwater spring feeds hot water and emerges under the sand. We need to dig to get to the Hot Water Beach hot pool then let the ocean cool down the temperature.
To get to Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel, we hire bikes from the Hot Water Beach Top 10 Holiday Park, as well as some spades to dig a hole! We bike to Hot Water Beach, find the perfect spot, and start digging our hot pool. Or at least, one of us does!
After relaxing on Hot Water Beach and taking in the Coromandel scenery, we hop back on our bikes and cycle through the forest. Next, we head back to the Hot Water Beach Top 10 Holiday Park.

Hot Water Beach in 4K, The Coromandel, New Zealand must do
Hot Water Beach, The Coromandel
Within two hours either side of low tide visitors flock to the usually deserted Hot Water Beach to find hot water bubbling through the golden sand. Families, kids and couples can be seen digging their own spa pool in the sand and relaxing in the natural springs. Often rated as one of the world's most renowned beaches - this is one experience that should be on your bucket list. A truly unique Kiwi experience that every New Zealander should experience at least once in their lifetime!
The beach also boasts some great surf, cruisy cafés and art galleries and is only a 5 minute drive to another Coromandel ‘must do’ – Cathedral Cove.
An underground river of hot water flows from the interior of the earth to surface in the Pacific Ocean at Hot Water Beach – a long beautiful white beach located between Tairua and Whitianga. The stunning beach overlooks the Pacific Ocean and offshore Castle Island, with Pohutukawa lined cliffs at either end of the beach.
Two hours either side of low tide visitors flock to the usually deserted Hot Water Beach to find hot water bubbling through the golden sand. Families, kids and couples can been seen digging their own spa pool in the sand to lie back in and relax while the steam from their hot pool envelops them.
With the ebb and flow of the tide each individually created hot pool is washed away clearing the way for the next influx of visitors.

BEACH WITH HOT WATER COMING FROM UNDER IT?? // New Zealand
No joke, two of the most unique and incredible beaches we have EVER been to! The first, Hot Water Beach has unique geothermal activity under it that causes extremely hot water to seep up through the beach if you dig just below the surface. Creates an incredible natural hot tube experience! The next beach, we hiked too was Cathedral Cove, an incredibly picturesque beach with cathedral like rock formations. Check it out!

Our Stay With a Japanese Family
From our Japan trip about 9 months ago LOL! Anyway my older brother (the one who speaks Japanese) made friends with this family while he was in Japan for 2 years and they invited us to stay a few nights while we were traveling around. The mother and father spoke some English, so we weren't completely in the dark. I believe they are the Kyoman family (probably spelled that wrong). Their youngest son's name is Alma, who we call Alma Kun, he is the kid you see the most of in this video. We can't understand a word from him but that didn't stop him from constantly trying and complaining that we didn't speak Japanese. They prepared a few different meals for us so we got to try homemade food instead of the usual restaurant. Great family. Not the experience a typical tourist would usually get! This was in the second week of the trip.
