Itinerary

1. Auckland
Your tour starts in New Zealand’s largest city. As we drive out of the city over the iconic Harbour Bridge, your guide will set the scene for your adventure today.
2. The Kauri Museum
Exiting Auckland, we travel west and follow the road through the kumara capital of New Zealand. Our first stop sees us visiting the Kauri Museum, to understand the remarkable story of New Zealand's largest and most famous native tree. Celebrating everything to do with kauri and the people of the north, we discover how kauri have supported lives and livelihoods for centuries. Despite their immense size and strength however, these giants are also fragile, so you may even take the opportunity to help in the survival of this mighty taonga (treasure).
