Where Skies Tell Stories - Lift off from Ardmore, settle behind the C-172’s yoke, and let Aroha, our Te Reo–fluent Kiwi guide, turn a 90-minute hop over Tāmaki Makaurau into a living postcard of Aotearoa.
Overview
Single real-human narrator — studio-recorded voice with warm Te Reo Māori, local humour, and spot-on pronunciation.
Hand-crafted flight path — Ardmore → Manukau → West-coast surf & Waitākere Ranges → North Auckland → Auckland CBD & Sky Tower → Hauraki Gulf islands → West Auckland → Hunua Ranges → back to Ardmore.
Landmark markers & heading arrows — custom POI icons and on-screen arrows appear in sync with the narration, so you’ll always know exactly where to look.
Immersive audio triggers — stories, legends, and NZ bird SFX roll automatically as each point of interest comes into view.
Te Reo Words - in-game subtitles display Māori words with phonetic pronunciation, and a printable Te Reo phrase guide is included in the Welcome Guide.
Performance-friendly — built entirely on default in-sim scenery; no extra add-ons required. Our screenshots above are taken with such enabled!
Bonus livery — includes a matching Kea Skies Cessna 172 paint scheme for screenshot-ready flights.

Notes
This product features our simInstaller technology and is available after purchase via our APP only.
The narration was witty overall, and the brief historical background and explanations of the POIs were excellent. The flight path was also designed to be a suitable length, making it a great tour mission.
Absolutely loved it! Tour was both educational and humourous, and the guide made things really interactive. Would definately recommend trying this out on VR, the human narrator makes this tour one of the most immersive experiences out there.
Great tour of Auckland! Really enjoyed this add-on. The guide is funny and full of local knowledge. Loved the mix of landmarks, Māori words, and little Kiwi jokes along the way. Easy to follow and makes Auckland feel alive in the sim.
