4worldlovers: MoaTours holidays are designed especially for mature travellers who want to explore our beautiful countryside, enjoy special annual events and get to know the locals over relaxed lunches in their homes.

The difference between MoaTours and other small group tours is the all inclusive costs. From the moment you step on board our coach (maximum 18 travellers) everything is taken care of by our knowledgeable and helpful Kiwi guide. All meals, sightseeing, entrance fees and activities are included in your tour cost. All South Island tours include return Auckland/Auckland airfares and flights are arranged for travellers joining from other regions.

Our leisurely paced itineraries are five to seven days in length and cover the country from Cape Reinga in the North to Stewart Island in the South. Each tour focuses on just one or two regions so you will have time to enjoy their special attractions and discover those off the beaten track places. And you’ll end each day in quality, en suite accommodation with a great “sense of place”.

“The guides were super friendly and informative. Everything ran like clockwork. Pick up and drop off was easy.” Trip Advisor Review 2023

All of our vehicles are luxurious, modern and well maintained. Our vehicles have more leg room than regular buses, easy access steps and plenty of storage space. Quiet interiors make it easy to talk with your driver/guide.

Having a range of vehicles gives us the flexibility to choose the most efficient and suitable vehicle for each tour. Our smaller buses can often get to locations that larger buses can’t get to. We have vehicles from 3 to 21 seats. For higher numbers we simply use more buses.

All of our trained guides love looking after our guests. They love to share the stories and history of NZ and look forward to helping you make the most of your time in and around Auckland.

The guided walk will introduce you to all the best bits of our seaside metropolis.

At the end of your tour, we encourage our happy walkers to offer their friendly guide a 'koha' or donation, that will go directly back into our collective.

The walk leaves from the Queens Wharf Village (89 Quay Street) — at 10am daily, and 2pm Thursday to Sunday.

The entire walk will take between 2.5 and 3 hours, and we’ll be walking rain or shine.

Bookings aren’t necessary, just come on down and look out for your friendly guide who will be holding a bright blue Auckland Free Walking Tours umbrella.

From Auckland’s rich history right through to the brand new developments of our fair city, your AFWT guide will walk and talk you through the changing ages of New Zealand’s largest metropolis.

Taking off from Auckland’s downtown, the walk heads up through Britomart Transport Centre, taking you through the city’s pedestrian laneways and right up to the recently renovated Auckland Art Gallery. You’ll then wander through the historic Albert Park and University of Auckland, before heading back down to Auckland’s famous viaduct precinct and across Te Wero Bridge, concluding among the hustle and bustle of the always-interesting Silo Park.

While we strive to visit all stops on our walk, please be aware that due to the each walk being unique we might not visit all stops listed above.

Auckland Free Walking Tours is really, truly a social enterprise, which means we really, truly do this because we’re just that passionate about showing visitors our weird and wonderful city. That’s what inspired the creation of AFWT, and that’s what our motivation will always be.

But we do also live in the real world, with real running costs, and real tour guides to pay. To make these ends meet, AFWT does encourage all our happy customers to offer their guide a ‘koha’ (gift, donation, contribution) at the end of the tour. Your koha will go directly back into our collective, so that we can pay our awesome guides to keep showing off our awesome city.

We walk every day! Rain or shine our walks depart at 10am daily and 2pm Thursday to Sunday from the Queens Wharf Village.

Our walk runs between 2.5 and 3 hours depending on the size of the group, including a quick break for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. The tour will be done each day by 1pm at the latest.

Our walk is an easy wander through the city and is suitable for people of all ages and all fitness levels. The entire walk spans about three kilometres and includes plenty of stops along the way.
