"I am taking you to paradise" . . . . were my husband's words when I boarded the plane to Aotearoa for the first time. . . . Kia Ora and a warm welcome to Beautiful Auckland! I am Gesa, "a Kiwi by choice" and so fortunate to call Aotearoa and Auckland home. Leave the crowds behind, feel the beautiful nature and experience the real Auckland, that is what I stand for. Personal, flexible and individual! Above all, it is the personal touch that keeps clients coming back to book their next tour with me. I am proud to say that every tour I design is still unique to each client - tailor-made to create a special experience. All my tours are open to customization. As a keen runner and while training on Stewart Island (most southern island of NZ) up to Cape Reinga (most northern tip of NZ where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet) my passion and love for nature deepened and the idea of " Beautiful Nature Tours Auckland" formed. A Boutique Tour Guide Company with the idea for visitors to feel and experience the real Auckland and it's wonderful outdoors while being active and leaving the crowds behind. . . Take in the amazing nature while walking, listening to the wonderful bird life and seeing native animals of New Zealand in the wild. Originally from Hannover in Germany, I am living since fourteen years with my Kiwi husband and our three energetic sons in Auckland after spending ten years in Sydney and six months in Paris. For the last twenty five years we have been hiking/running/cycling the "Land of the long white cloud" with its breath-taking nature and I would love to show you this magnificent part of the world. I am passionate about inclusive tourism and open when appropriate to tailoring an adventure to each individual client and when needed have support & professional advice from the Makingtrax team.

    Gesa provided a most interesting tour of Auckland and suburbs including parks, homes. beaches, national monuments and she had so much information to share. Gesa was flexible in providing us with the tour we wanted. The best about Gesa is her personality. She is upbeat, positive, and had all good things to say about the country she truly loves. We highly recommend Gesa for...

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words — this truly means a lot to me. It was such a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing a little piece of Auckland and New Zealand with you. I’m so glad you enjoyed the mix of places and that we could shape the tour around what you were most interested in — that’s always what makes it special for me too. Your...

    Our time in Auckland was limited and we did not have access to a car, so we booked the City to Surf Tour and we were treated to one of the best tours ever! We were shown the West side of Auckland as well as major points of interest within the city. It clearly demonstrated why this city is so beautiful. The other important element of our experience was with Gesa. Truly...

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words — this truly means a lot to me! It was such a pleasure showing you around Auckland, from the wild beauty of the West Coast to the highlights of our “City of Sails.” I’m so glad we could make the most of your time here and tailor the day to suit you — that’s exactly how I love to share this special place. Guests like you...

    Gesa was absolutly wonderful! We had so much fun and saw so much. We spent 34 days touring Australia and NZ with this being our final formal tour. It was certainly one of our favorites. We saw Gannets and then had a choice between several different hikes down to the beach. She explained perfectly where to go and how strenous they would be so we could make an informed...

    Wow — what a way to finish your 34-day adventure… I’m honoured we made it into your favourites! I had such a fun day with you — from gannet spotting to choosing between “energetic explorer” and “bench with a view” (a very underrated option, I must say!). And of course, a little wine never hurts to round things off nicely. I’m so glad you enjoyed it all, and I hope your...

    We has a fabulous time with Gesa! Within a short amount of time she keyed into exactly what we wanted from our day tour outside of the City of Auckland and she quickly made some adjustments to suit our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our day. From the honey centre to the ice cream shop, our drive through a quaint little town that included a stop at a local...

    Wow—thank you so much for this beautiful feedback! I’m so glad I could tailor the day to match exactly what you were hoping for and that you enjoyed the mix of local flavours, scenery, and hidden gems along the way. From sweet stops to coastal contrasts, it was such a pleasure sharing a little slice of Aotearoa with you—and I’m thrilled the day exceeded your...
