Overview

This unique private tour blends culture and sightseeing in one incredible experience. Explore Auckland, the City of Sails, while immersing yourself in rich Māori traditions.

Marvel at Bastion Point, also known as the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial, wander through the lush Winter Gardens, and explore the mighty Mt Eden Volcano, where stunning views of the Hauraki Gulf await.

But this is more than just a sightseeing tour—it’s a deep dive into Māori heritage. Guided by respected indigenous artists and storytellers, you’ll experience the traditions of Tangata Whenua, the people of the land. Learn the meaning of the Hongi (Māori greeting), listen to enchanting songs, and witness the artistry of poi.

Discover the origins and power of the haka, then get hands-on with traditional Māori instruments and ancestral games.

Enjoy a gourmet lunch at a local café before we drop you off at your accommodation, leaving you with unforgettable memories.
