Driving Creek Pottery
The Coromandel region of New Zealand has a rich history of pottery making. One of the most famous potters in the area was Barry Brickell who created a range of pottery sculptures using clay he dug from his own hilly property. He made New Zealand's first wood-fired stoneware pottery kiln in 1974 with help from students using bricks from a demolished hotel in the nearby town of Coromandel. You can find out more about the history of pottery in Coromandel by visiting Driving Creek Railway & Potteries. The complex blends into the natural bush setting in the beautiful Coromandel, New Zealand. You can tour their Coromandel pottery shop then spend time in the craft shop viewing the finished works. You will have an experience of the pottery class for an hour and half.

Took a chance, but was not disappointed!
I’m leery of signing up for activities that do not have any reviews, as I would like to know what to expect. However I took a chance on this trip as it advertised everything that I wanted. My husband and I were in Auckland and wanted to go to the Coromandel, but do not have a car, and also have no idea where to go or what to see. Things started off a bit shaky as I never heard from the tour operator to coordinate the pick up so the day before our trip I called the number listed on the TripAdvisor site, and received a generic voicemail. Luckily someone text me back right away, but they told me my trip was canceled and I should have been notified. Shortly thereafter I got a call apologizing and informed that the trip was not canceled and someone would fetch us the following morning. Sharma showed up on time with a lovely car and a great personality! Sharma also shared that he was not a tour guide, so could not provide a lot of the history about the area, but was our driver. He provided us with an overview of his background as a seasoned driver and his vast experience with traveling around the area, which was actually helpful as we traversed some pretty windy roads along the trip. He outlined the day’s activities, but said as this was our personal trip he would be happy to deviate if we wanted to stop somewhere else or take more time at a particular place. The only appointment was at a Driving Creek Railway/Pottery Store as we had tickets for a train ride. It is a small train which winds up to the top of a hill where you can look over the Coromandel. The train operator told us stories about the man who built the railway which was used to move the supplies he needed for his pottery. There is also a cute gift shop where you can purchase pottery, which we did… Next we went to the Hot Water Beach, which we needed to get to when it was low tide. I have to mention that we took this trip in August and it was cold/rainy and a bit windy out, so not the best experience, but this is not the fault of the tour operator. However, we were able to get out on the beach and watched some locals dig holes and settle in to enjoy the heat. They were very accommodating and let me shimmy down to touch the water and it is indeed hot. If you are lucky to go in nice weather and want to dig your own hole, you will need to rent a shovel from the gift shop (only $5) as the tour operator does not supply one. Next we stopped for lunch where we had some awesome pizza and beer from a local brewery. Then it was back on the road to Cathedral Cove. Since the weather was so bad we did not get to go on the boat ride, but instead hiked down to the beach (about 45 minutes each way). Cathedral Cover is beautiful and worth the hike down to see it, especially for the great photo opportunities which it affords. Lucky for us, Sharma proved to be more than a driver, but also an excellent photographer as he took over 100 photos of my husband and I throughout the trip both candid and posed, which he sent to us at the end of the day, and are honestly probably the only good photos we have of the 2 of us… OK – so overall, it is a lot of driving on really windy roads, so if you get car sick, this is not for you. If you also expect strict schedules and polished narrations of what you are seeing, also not for you. If you want to spend a day with your own personal driver/photographer, who is really nice, fun and will take you around the Coromandel so you can see some of the most interesting sites it has, then I highly recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thanks very much of your review for us. I personally apologize about misunderstand of the booking of you. Coromandel is the beautiful place to visit if the weather is good. but it's very curvy.. hopely you had a nice time.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
[Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Auckland.
How much does [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $420 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Auckland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Auckland is not rushed.
Is [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Auckland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Auckland can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Auckland and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does [Stevong Travel] West Coromandel Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Auckland within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Auckland?
+
On Outty we rank every Auckland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch, Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Tour with Cheeky Kiwi Travel, Hobbiton & Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour with Lunch from Auckland. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Auckland?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Auckland?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
