Hahei is amazing. Very chill and quiet in the the winter. A lil cray with crowds in the summer. Be aware the walk to Cathedral Cove is still closed. Boat rides $80pp. Supposed to be fixed by summer. Full review by mebeekiwi
We will be travelling from Hamilton to cathedral cove . Is the route feasible for someone with motion sickness ?

We drove Rotarua to Corumundel and the highways along the coast are very steep and winding. I don’t know the severity of your motion sickness so it’s hard to answer your question. It’s possible the drive from Hamilton to Waikato to The Cove has more straightaways. There are lots of activity options which you should be able to enjoy- hiking, hot water beach. There are ferries and kayak trips but don’t know how you do in those activities

Hi. What's the recommended mode of transport from Whitianga town to Cathedral Cove (we don't have a car). Thank you.
A:
I'm not sure, sorry. it's about half an hour drive from Whitianga from memory. Maybe you could search to see if there is a day trip bus that can take you there. A car is your best option …
