"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

Waiheke is a haven of beautiful vineyards, olive groves and beaches - all just a 40-minute ferry ride away. There's a reason Waiheke Island was named one of the world's top 10 regions to visit for 2016 in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel guide. In landscape, lifestyle and experience, Waiheke is a world away and home to a number of wineries and vineyards nestled into the landscape. Join a guided tour for tastings of award-winning wines and relax over a delicious vineyard lunch. Included in the tour package is a complimentary wine tasting at two award-winning vineyards. Lunch at Mudbrick Vineyard, one of Auckland's best restaurants, transportation on the island and return ferry ride. Having lived in Auckland for 13 years - Mudbrick is still my favourite vineyard with it's charm and soul and great Chardonnay Reserve. . . .
