Welcome to Curious George & Me.
While it's unfortunate that large portions of this beautiful country aren't very accommodating for dogs, George and I have made it our mission to discover some amazing places that you and your furry friend can enjoy. You've likely stumbled upon our site because, like us, you've been searching for dog-friendly destinations.
George and I have unearthed some hidden gems, and we're eager to share them with you. If you know of any other dog-friendly spots that aren't listed here, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're always excited to expand our collection.
Previously based in Auckland, a large selection of our featured walks are here. We've since relocated to Taranaki and more of our walks are now based around the lower North Island.
When it comes to our walks, I prioritise adventure and freedom for George. We seek out places that allow him to be curious, go at his pace and sniff all the smells. Each blog post indicates whether the walk is on or off lead. However, please note that dog regulations can change, so it's always a good idea to check with local councils regarding any restrictions. If you come across any outdated information, kindly let us know so we can keep our content up to date.
Head over to our Blog section to discover detailed write-ups about various walks, or if you've got a specific destination in mind, our Adventure Map will let you know what walks we've done in the area.

Wishing you and your furry companion many unforgettable adventures,
George and Me x
