From Cathedral Cove to Remote Northern Bays

This extended scenic flight showcases the full diversity of the Coromandel Peninsula. From the white sands and iconic rock formations of Cathedral Cove to the quieter northern reaches around Port Charles and Port Jackson, the journey highlights both well-known destinations and secluded coastal stretches.
Flying at low altitude where conditions allow, guests gain a unique perspective on the region’s geography, with uninterrupted views of beaches, headlands, native forest, and coastal settlements that define the Coromandel’s character.

Fly Direct or Enhance Your Experience with a Landing

While the aerial views alone make this flight unforgettable, the optional island landing adds another layer to the experience. Stepping out onto a remote island location offers a chance to slow down, enjoy a picnic, and appreciate the surroundings away from crowds. This flexibility makes the Coromandel Explorer a standout option for those wanting more than a standard scenic flight.
