With endless opportunities including ladies’ pamper packages to rough and
rugged outdoor pursuit activities there’s something for everyone. Perhaps
troll the crisp clear waters for a spot of fishing and diving, maybe even sail
the many islands off the coast. Be it indoors or out, laidback or adventurous,
there’s plenty of reasons to kick back and enjoy The Coromandel.
