"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.

On this day tour, you will experience the fascinating volcanic landscape of Auckland, get a taste of Maori history and discover Auckland 'first hand' from your knowledgeable and experienced guide. Tamaki Makaurau (Maori name for Auckland) means "desired by many" and I will show you why. Let me show you why Auckland is the 'City of Sails', visit historic Bastion Point and get a taste of Maori history at the historic Orakei Marae, home of the Ngati Whatua tribe. Next, we stop at a seaside village, where you will enjoy a fantastic view of Auckland's largest volcano, Rangitoto and Brown's Island. Visit Maungakiekie the second largest volcano in Auckland and a place of remembrance for both the Maori and European people of NZ. Enjoy the incredible view over the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland City, and Rangitoto from the peak of One Tree Hill to make this a day you will remember. My best-loved park in Auckland, especially in spring when lambs are just born.
