"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.

Overview of your Auckland tour

Feel the beauty of "The Land Of The Long White Cloud" on this tour. Discover the wildlife of the West Coast, be mesmerized by the beauty of ever-changing landscapes and scenery from the Tasman Sea to the Pacific Ocean, black and white sand beaches, lush rainforests, Southern Alps, and spectacular National Parks to magnificent fjords while enjoying world-renowned wines. I designed this tour originally for my family from Germany visiting New Zealand on a "once of a lifetime great trip" and to show them why we chose New Zealand as our "home"! The "once-in-a-lifetime trip" was followed by a few more because they have fallen in love with New Zealand and it's people. Let me know your wishes. I am flexible and can adjust the tour where required. The itinerary is just an idea however a good one 😉 I also have a selection of boutique handpicked accommodation which are not necessarily in your ordinary travel guide, checking out another one “off the beaten track” in Central Otago tomorrow!
