"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

Explore the Beauty of Northland – Your Way During the summer holidays, it often feels like half of Auckland heads south to the Coromandel, while the other half escapes north. With a holiday bach in Mangawhai, we’ve always been part of the northern crowd—and for good reason! Northland is a region full of wonders. From the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Islands to the rich stories behind the Kaipara and Hokianga Harbours, not to mention the incredible creativity found in local art galleries and studios—there’s so much to explore. The challenge isn’t what to see, but what to leave out! Having called Auckland and Northland home for over 30 years, I know this part of Aotearoa intimately—and I absolutely love it. I’d be proud to share some of my favorite spots with you. Whether you’re drawn to history, nature, culture, or simply want to soak in the scenery, my tours are fully customizable to suit your interests and pace. Let’s craft a journey that’s uniquely yours—get in touch, and let’s make it happen.
