About This Tour

A private, German/English-speaking tour for your group only, along the real North Coast Track, with genuine winery tasting and Parry Kauri Park. This is a private tour for your group only, guided in German or English. Real content includes the North Coast Track hike, genuine winery tasting, and Parry Kauri Park.

The North Coast Track at Tāwharanui follows real, rugged coastline inside a sanctuary that is itself one of New Zealand's few "open" conservation models — walkers, grazing stock, and reintroduced native wildlife share the same unfenced ground, protected only by a roughly 2.5-kilometre predator-proof fence completed in 2004. The track's cliffs, headlands, and beaches sit within this working mix of farmland and regenerating bush, giving the walk a genuinely different character from a conventional nature reserve.

The walk's other real highlight lies just outside Warkworth, at Parry Kauri Park, home to two of the largest kauri trees remaining on New Zealand's east coast. The McKinney Kauri — named for the family of an early Presbyterian minister who once owned the land — stands roughly 37 metres tall with a trunk girth of more than seven metres and is estimated at around 800 years old; its neighbour, the Simpson Kauri, reaches a similar height and is thought to be roughly 600 years old. Both trees were earmarked to be felled for timber in the 1960s before the Kauri and Native Bushmen's Association intervened, and the grove was formally gifted to the people of Warkworth in 1967.

Kauri once underpinned this whole district's early economy — the same timber reserves that drew European settlers to found Matakana in the 1840s were kauri forest — which makes walking among two genuine survivors of that era a real, tangible link to the region's pre-wine, pre-tourism history, guided bilingually in German or English along the way.
