About Us
DISCOVER THE AUCKLAND MOST VISITORS NEVER SEE
Forget rushing from one attraction to the next. At Funky Bunch Tours, we’d rather show you the places that make Auckland’s wild West Coast unforgettable — and give you the time to actually enjoy them.
At the heart of our adventure is Te Henga (Bethells Beach), where dramatic cliffs meet the Tasman Sea, vast black-sand beaches stretch along the coastline and hidden corners are waiting to be discovered.
But this isn’t just about seeing a beautiful beach.
With Mark as your local guide, you’ll discover the stories, viewpoints and hidden gems that most visitors simply never find. Explore the black sands, wander through spectacular coastal landscapes, discover hidden caves when conditions allow, stop for those “wow, I need a photo of this” moments, and hear the local stories that bring the area to life.
There’s no rushing, no crowded tour bus and no scripted commentary. Just genuine local knowledge, great music, plenty of laughs and a relaxed day that feels less like sightseeing and more like exploring with friends.
Because we believe the best adventures aren’t measured by how many places you can squeeze into a day.
They’re measured by the stories you tell when you get home.
Real places. Real people. Real memories.
FROM THE WILD WEST COAST TO A LOCAL FAVOURITE
Hallertau isn’t just somewhere we stop for a drink — it’s a much-loved local brewery with its own distinctive character, great atmosphere and craft beer brewed right there on site.
Choose from their range of locally brewed craft beers, settle in with a tasting paddle, or simply order whatever takes your fancy. Not a beer drinker? No problem. Hallertau also offers a great selection of local and New Zealand wines, along with non-alcoholic options, so there’s something for everyone.
And if all that exploring has worked up an appetite, Hallertau serves fantastic food, making it the perfect place to enjoy lunch, relax and refuel.
Food, drinks and tastings at Hallertau are optional and are purchased directly from the venue at your own cost.
There’s no rushing you through. This is time to sit back, share a few laughs and get to know the people you’ve spent the day exploring with.
Whether you’re a craft beer fan, prefer a glass of local wine, are there for the food, or simply want to soak up the atmosphere, Hallertau adds another authentic local experience to your Funky Bunch adventure.
Wild coast. Local flavours. Great people. One unforgettable day.
