Hi, I’m Mike! I love sharing the hidden gems of Auckland, from Karaka Bay’s quiet charm to the volcanic maunga like Maungakiekie and Rangitoto. I enjoy taking my kids for fish and chips after a stroll around the Viaduct, visiting the swans at Western Springs, and grabbing a steak and cheese pie from Pasadena Bakery. I know Auckland’s beaches, coastline, and vibrant neighborhoods, including Bayside spots like Orakei and Mission Bay, and central gems like Parnell, Mt Eden, and Ponsonby. I love showing visitors what makes Auckland truly special.
