We will meet at the bottom of Mount Eden/ Maungawhau and walk up the dormant volcano which happens to have spectacular views of the city of Auckland, Rangitoto Island and the Waitakere Ranges. I will show you some of my favourite spots along the volcano while capturing beautiful images of you on our walk up (20 minutes). At the top, you will encounter a panoramic view of the city where I will snap some more shots for your memories. Throughout the experience, I will give you some fun facts on the volcano and the city of Auckland. I can provide recommendations on request, for local places for lunch/dinner and suggestions for activities to do in and outside the city.

-Taste real fresh NZ craft beer with seasoned pros -Start at craft beer freehouse with a paddle of cold local brews -Take a harborside and city scenic walking tour between pubs -Taste the beer in Auckland’s oldest brewpub -Drink more beer and eat tasty food in lively central pub The point of our experience is that you actually get to taste real New Zealand craft beer, lovingly brewed by our microbreweries. Many bars and pubs in Auckland City Centre sell what they call craft beer. These are often beers made by one of our duopoly owners of the alcohol industry here in New Zealand. So actually the craft beer is made by a multinational company. So, all the craft beer we taste on our experience is made by locally owned small microbreweries who are dotted up and down the country. Because we are tiny we have easy access to beer brewed outside of Auckland. Sadly there are still only a handful of places in the city center that showcase the craft brewers work, but good news is, we'll take you there! A few years ago we saw this as an opportunity and the Great Auckland Craft Beer Hunt was born. We combine drinking amazing local beer with a small tiki tour of the city in between bars. Our guides are all about the beer, good conversation and catching you up on all things New Zealand. Also happy to help with journey planning over the beers if you are just starting out your adventure in NZ.
