Hidden Culture of Central Auckland

Hidden Culture of Central Auckland

Our walk takes us through the inner city, learning about Auckland’s history from early Māori habitation through to modern new developments. We are known as the city of sails but what is even more unique is that we are a city of extinct volcanoes. We are situated on the beautiful Waitematā harbour and we learn some Maritime history. We walk past the Art Gallery and into Albert Park and the Auckland University before returning to our meeting point via Queen and side streets, pointing out places of significance along the way. Auckland is undergoing a great re-vitalisation so there has never been a better time to explore our great inner city.

All this walking will make us thirsty so we will visit a local cafe for a welcome rest towards the end of the morning.
