Auckland isn’t just New Zealand’s largest and busiest city—it’s a place filled with history, culture, and breathtaking sights waiting to be explored. Join us on a private day tour through Auckland’s most iconic landmarks, where you’ll uncover the deep connections between the city and its Māori heritage.

We’ll start by picking you up from Auckland CBD before taking you on an unforgettable journey through the city’s highlights and culturally significant sites. Marvel at Bastion Point (Michael Joseph Savage Memorial), stroll through the stunning Winter Gardens, and take in panoramic views from Mt Eden Volcano, one of the most striking volcanic cones in the region, overlooking the Hauraki Gulf.

This tour goes beyond sightseeing—it’s an immersive cultural experience. Guided by respected Māori artists and storytellers, you’ll learn about the traditions, language, and powerful customs of Tangata Whenua (people of the land).

Feel the significance of the Hongi (Māori greeting), be captivated by enchanting songs, and witness the graceful art of poi. Discover the origins and intensity of the world-famous haka, then step back in time with hands-on access to a private collection of traditional Māori musical instruments and ancestral games.

To complete your journey, enjoy a delicious gourmet lunch at a local café before we return you to your accommodation, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Auckland’s history, culture, and stunning landscapes.
