The experience

Join us for a world first, the first Auckland Pacifica tour. Experience Auckland through the stories, culture and traditions of its Pacifica communities on this unique guided journey.

Along the way, learn how Pacific peoples helped shape Auckland into the largest Polynesian city in the world, while discovering the influence of Pacific culture on the city’s arts, crafts, music, sport and performance. Meet local personalities, artists and makers, enjoy authentic Pacific cuisine, and gain insight into the rich history and heritage of Pacific communities in Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Our Pacifica guide will pick you up from your downtown hotel and take you to the Otara and Mangere markets (on Saturdays), church (on Sundays) and then dine at Tala for lunch for a stunning degustation lunch all while telling stories of Pacifica peoples arrival in Auckland post war and through the 70’s and beyond to shape Auckland into the largest Polynesian city in the world.

Learn about how Pacifica culture has influenced our city including their arts, crafts and culture, music, sports and performance. You will meet locals with stories to tell, artists practicing their craft, enjoy Pacifica food and learn about Pacifica culture and peoples and their history here.
