Sudima Auckland City

An authentic ‘insider neighbourhood’ private walking tour, hosted by a mature local guide. Discover local favourites and hidden gems of the inner city. Auckland is NZ’s largest and most diverse city with great food, world-class entertainment, excellent shopping and an interesting history. As a harbour city, Auckland also has a wonderful connected waterfront to explore. This private walking tour of the inner city is a great way to start or end your vacation in New Zealand.

The Footwhistle Cave, also known as Te Anaroa Cave, is one of the largest in Waitomo and supports some of the best glowworm displays, yet every tour feels like an intimate trip where you can discover this cave as if for the first time. Your experienced guide will share with you the rich history of the surroundings, and stories of the cave formation and the titiwai, the glow worm that lives in the cave. The solar-powered lights are kept low so you can appreciate the magnificent glow worm displays at their best, some only inches away. Marvel at the fantastic limestone formations of stalactites and stalagmites and view the remains of one of New Zealand's lost treasures, the ancient Moa. Complete the tour by enjoying a complimentary Kawakawa tea whilst you relax in our ponga hut nestled in the native forest.
