SENIORS’ LIVING LIFE<br />
Gardens,<br />
beaches and<br />
the “Eyefull<br />
Tower” -<br />
Coromandel<br />
has all this<br />
and more…<br />
Supreme Tours is thrilled to be able to<br />
offer tours to the Coromandel Thames<br />
area in 2022. Travelling in February<br />
and March with return flights to<br />
Auckland for overnight before joining<br />
their Quality Touring Coach and<br />
experienced Tour Manager. So many<br />
scenic highlights on offer in this area.<br />
Visits to the Thames Museum to hear<br />
the regions rich history, the “Garden of<br />
Distinction” – Rapaura Watergardens<br />
to enjoy the abundant native bush<br />
and the beautiful birds. No visit to the<br />
Coromandel would be complete without<br />
enjoying the Narrow gauge Railway built<br />
by Barry Bricknell <strong>The</strong> steepest railway<br />
in New Zealand which took 32 years to<br />
complete. It climbs 2.7km from the Base<br />
Station to the “Eyefull Tower” which is a<br />
total climb of 115 metres and lined with<br />
unique and colourful pottery. We stay<br />
two nights in Coromandel with dinners<br />
at local restaurants and a guided tour of<br />
the township. Supreme then head across<br />
to Whitianga where a two night stay at<br />
Buffalo Beach is enjoyed. A cruise in the<br />
beautiful Mercury Bay visiting Cathedral<br />
Cove, and local islands and sea caves<br />
will be one that is not forgotten. Perfect<br />
for photos and hopefully some dolphin<br />
spotting! Continental breakfasts, all<br />
dinners and sightseeing are included. All<br />
you have to do is sit back and enjoy it.<br />
