"Peter – Your Guide, Your Host, Your Driver... Your No Worries." Born and raised in the heart of New Zealand’s deep south, I’m a fourth-generation Kiwi with a deep passion for my homeland, Aotearoa. After moving to Auckland in 1990, it took a little time to adjust to city life, but soon enough, I found my rhythm in the bustling urban environment. Now, I’m a proud Aucklander, but I must admit—you’ll never take the South out of me fully! I still carry that Southern warmth and love for the land wherever I go. And any sports team called Otago! I come from a small business background, where I learned the vital importance of 'Keeping the Customer Satisfied.' This experience instilled in me a deep commitment to maintaining professional standards at all times and ensuring every client feels valued and cared for. I’m passionate about showing off New Zealand to visitors, whether it’s guiding you through the sights and sounds of this beautiful country or sharing stories and fun facts about its culture, history, and natural wonders. I believe that every tour should be unique and personal, with a strong focus on helping you feel at home in our land. When I’m not sharing the best of New Zealand with others, you’ll often find me outdoors—whether I’m walking through scenic trails, fishing in our pristine waters, or boating around our beautiful coastline. I believe that experiencing the natural beauty of New Zealand is an essential part of what makes this country so special, and I love sharing those outdoor adventures with others. I love to travel, explore new cultures, and spend time with my family. Whether I’m in Brazil, Japan, or at home, life is full of adventure, and I feel truly blessed. As a husband, father, brother, and loyal friend, I know the value of meaningful connections. I promise to greet you with a warm smile and a hearty "haere mai" (Welcome), making sure your time in New Zealand is not just a tour, but a memorable experience. Peter C

Overview of your Auckland tour

During the summer holidays, it often feels like half of Auckland heads south to the Coromandel while the other half goes north. With a holiday bach in Mangawhai, we’ve always been part of the northern crowd! Northland offers so much to explore, and with the ongoing construction of the four-lane highway, access is gradually becoming easier and quicker. The challenge is what to leave out! With the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Islands, the rich history of the Kaipara and Hokianga Harbours, and the boundless creativity of Kiwis in the art world, Northland offers an abundance of treasures to discover. Auckland and Northland have been my home for over 30 years, and I absolutely love it. I have favorite spots that I’d be proud to share with you during your time with me. If you have specific areas of interest, my tour is fully customizable to ensure it perfectly suits your preferences. Let’s create an experience tailored just for you!

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Crossover

My 2019 Subaru Outback is the quintessential Kiwi lifestyle vehicle. It is in excellent condition. It is safe, has all modern tech features and comfortable. It will carry up to four passengers although four passengers will mean three in the back. Not ideal for a 3 day tour. I can organize a larger vehicle for larger parties if required. Costs to be discussed.
