Itinerary

Day 1

This personalised, small group 'true' ECO-tour (comprising the Nature, Culture, Environmental & Conservation elements in TIES criteria of which we are members), is owned, operated and hosted by New Zealander's.
We take you out of the city to explore the West Auckland region where our family has lived since 1922. We ONLY operate in the area we live, so profits are directed back into our community.
Enjoy AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES (with very little travelling!) that include;
- lunch, (with wine/beer at an upmarket cafe),
- Waitakere rainforest, (a guided tour of Arataki Information Centre),
- craft-shopping, (100% NZ products),
- wine tasting, (at an award winning winery),
- honey sampling, (at BeesOnline),
- gannet (sea-bird) colony,
- Muriwai beach, (black iron-sands),
- visit to our SHEEP FARM and
- historic Homestead for afternoon tea,
- overview of Maori culture,
- and a hands-on animal experience.
…yes! ALL that in ONE day!!

We also have a 'unique-to-Auckland' TREE PLANTING project to offset this tour's emissions. Purchase and plant your own Native tree - (certificates issued, trees tagged and protected by New Zealand Government Law, forever).

SHORE EXCURSIONS (or Group Tours) are available, and can include an informative ‘Kiwiana-themed' lamb roast/BBQ lunch at our farm (30 pax maximum, bookings essential).

We are Qualmark Endorsed and have been operating since 2002.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
