"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.

My first visit to New Zealand 27 years ago changed my life. Exploring Rotorua, learning about Māori culture at Te Puia and witnessing the power of its geothermal wonders inspired me to return. Today, I’d love to share this incredible country with you. This private multi-day journey showcases the very best of the North Island. Discover Auckland, the “City of Sails”, step into the magical world of Hobbiton™, immerse yourself in Māori culture at Te Puia, and marvel at the spectacular Pōhutu Geyser. Continue underground to discover the magic of New Zealand’s glowworm caves (family-run, off the beaten track), where thousands of tiny lights illuminate the darkness like a star-filled sky. This relaxed tour can be tailored to your interests and pace, combining spectacular scenery, fascinating culture, hidden gems and unforgettable experiences for memories that will last a lifetime.
