Itinerary
Coromandel Peninsula
Small precision, having rented a van with withdrawal and return to Auckland, we were forced to follow this loop. It is nevertheless quite possible to follow our itinerary while continuing after Tongariro (towards Mount Taranaki for example) towards Wellington, you can then either take a plane towards Auckland or extend your route by van in the South by ferry.
