"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

I literally have just come back from a magical day at the West Coast, discovering stunning waterfalls, mystique rainforest and then finding a cave after a short 30 min hilly, but easy walk. After the short climb I was rewarded with stunning views over the Tasman Sea and Lion Rock. This tour will absolutely rejuvenate you while experiencing how the locals live. This morning once again showed me why I love my job and I would love to share this beautiful part of the world with you. Famed for it's natural beauty, Karekare is a star of movies and television. It's a treasured part of Te Wao nui a Tiriwa, the Waitakere ranges. Leaving the crowds behind us, we will leave Auckland on our 50 minute drive to the wild West Coast. Enjoy the wonderful nature on a walk through mystic rainforest, dip your toe in the waterfall "pool" and be fascinated by the beauty and ruggedness of the Wild West Coast.
