Go with the flow in Tairua and discover its volcanic peaks, island dive spots and surf beaches at your own leisure.

Tairua means “two tides”. One tide reaches its harbour at the Tairua River mouth and the other laps at Tairua Beach. In between stand the twin peaks of Mount Paku, a volcano with views of some the best dive spots of the Coromandel Peninsula. Tairua’s twin town Pauanui is just a short ferry ride away. The region’s true hidden gem is Otara Bay. You can only get there by following a bush track from Sailor’s Grave Beach. Shh, don’t tell anyone!
