Swim in the local waterholes

A refreshing adventure nearby is the beautiful swimming spot known as Shags Water Hole in Kauaeranga Valley. Surrounded by native bush and flowing river water, it’s the perfect place to cool off after a hike or simply relax beside the water. The natural setting feels peaceful and untouched, with the calming sounds of the river echoing through the valley. There are so many incredible swimming holes scattered throughout the valley to explore, each with its own charm but with only so much time in the day, Shags Water Hole is a wonderful place to start. 995B Kauaeranga Valley Road, Coromandel Forest Park 3577
