Incredible Maori Tour with Donna! - Our tour guide Donna, pick us up from our hotel exactly on time. Donna explained she is Maori. She spent all day with us explaining and telling us about the Maori people, there history and traditions. One of the highlights was the Maori cultural presentation at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. The Maori presenters were very talented and convincing communicators of the Maori culture. They engaged with us in the audience making us feel a more like a part of the presentation.
Donna knowledge of the flora and fauna was exceptional. A lot of the vegetation is indigenous to New Zealand with some trees and plants having exceptional medicinal qualities.
We can recommend Donna to anyone wishing for a full day experiencing an exceptional introduction to the Maori culture, Auckland along with incredible views of the area.

The best ever - This private tour was an amazing introduction to Auckland and the Māori culture and well worth the money. Our guide Donna was so knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. She was totally willing to share her personal experiences and Māori culture with us and explain so much of the country’s history, geography, flora and fauna and traditions. We spent nine hours with Donna but the day was so relaxed that it didn’t even feel like that much time had passed. Time flies when you’re having fun. I highly recommend Time Unlimited and the one day Auckland Māori tour - and ask for Donna. As she will tell you, there is only two degrees of separation!! Kathy L Jan 19, 2026

Māori tour with great guide - We really enjoyed our tour with Donna and learnt a lot about the Māori culture and enjoyed visiting Piha beach especially . Beautiful stretch of beach but very strong surf needless to say we did not paddle or swim !
We had a whole day trip with Donna and the next day I did a half day trip with her where I purchased some green stone for family under her guidance and we visited some of the very attractive suburbs surrounding Auckland city .
Donna was very personable and made the whole experience fun . I felt we met as strangers but left as friends !

Wonderful Maori tour experience - We had a wonderful time on the Māori tour. It was a highly enjoyable, inspiring and very meaningful day trip. Donna and Drew were fabulous hosts and tour guides: engaging, warm, informative and very professional. They explained in detail and in an interesting, highly interactive way important points about Auckland’s rich culture and traditions and natural landscapes. We thoroughly recommend the tour to others.
