Driving Creek is a truly unique tourism operation in Coromandel that began as a grass-roots pottery in 1973, and offers immersive experiences within a beautiful native forest. We provide authentic experiences that take you on a journey where you learn about the incredible story of Driving Creek's creation, the land's pioneering history and conservation initiatives.
We have things to do for everyone with three unforgettable tourism experiences, whether it’s a railway tour on New Zealand’s only mountain railway crossing ten bridges and three tunnels with spectacular views across Coromandel, an 8-zipline canopy tour that traverses through native forest both under ferns and high in the treetops, or a creative wheel throwing pottery class in a place thriving with inspiration and old world values.
