ABOUT US

Not just a tour  - a cultural experience.

The richness and goodness of Auckland will be seen, heard and felt.

Your hosts are direct descendants of the Māori  Chiefs that helped establish Tāmaki Makaurau – the city of Auckland. 

 

As Ahi kā, the people that keep the home fires burning, it is our role to host and care for our Manuhiri, our guests...
