Join me to discover my Auckland. I am passionate about sharing Auckland and its region with you. I have been helping visitors and locals alike discover Auckland, its highlights and hidden gems for a decade. My area of expertise is in arts and culture but I cover all facets of Auckland on your terms. We can combine any of the following into a unique experience for you and your friends and family. Consider experiencing our Street Art, Maori Urban Design, Galleries, public sculpture, laneways, architecture, waterfronts, history, coffee and food, and cool neighbourhoods during your time in Auckland. I have been running art and culture focused tours since 2007 for small groups, mostly overseas. Now it is time spend more time focusing on what we have at home, here in Tamaki Makaurau and its myriad of volcanic cones, coffee, culture and coastlines. As a practising artist I can share my knowledge and experience of our local art scene with you and recommend local galleries and museums to visit, the best places to buy something to take home, and where to stop for coffee or lunch in between.

Your Auckland tour itinerary
Departing Auckland at 9am we head north to the Matakana region. Matakana is a picturesque semi rural region full of beautiful beaches. Heading first to the Omaha Beach, before stopping in Matakana Vilage for coffee and a browse. Visit a local artist subject to availability. Lunch at Brick Bay Winery before walking their amazing sculpture trail which winds through native bush brimming with sculptures by New Zealand artists. Subject to timing we may visit Leigh, Ti Point or Tawharanui Regional Park. This tour explores a part of our region that is special to me. It combines the best of our beaches, landscapes, access to vineyards, art and sculpture, all just an hour from downtown Auckland. Finish with fresh fruit icecream and head home.
