Nature / New Zealand
Guided Photo Tour
The fascinating nature in New Zealand is perfect for a photographic journey of a special kind. Be it flora or fauna. New Zealand has a lot to offer. Keep your camera ready, because beside whales and fireflies also wine tasting, imposing landscapes and the charm of the metropolis of Wellington await you.
The Route:
Day 1: Christchurch
Kia Ora to Christchurch. Be our guest at our traditional Welcome Drink and Dinner. Getting to know each other is top of the list and your tour guide will give you further information on your upcoming New Zealand photo tour adventure.
Day 2: Christchurch
On a day trip, we learn more about the French influence in New Zealand in the village of Akaroa, set in a sheltered harbor and surrounded by rugged volcanic hills. Alternatively, explore Christchurch on your own.
Day 3: Christchurch > Kaikoura
Depending on weather conditions we can take part in a whale-watching tour. Our destination is Kaikoura, New Zealand's most famous location for whale observation.
Day 4: Kaikoura > Blenheim
On our journey back north, we stay overnight in Blenheim, the center of New Zealand's wine industry, located in the Marlborough region. Naturally, we enjoy a wine tasting.
Day 5: Blenheim > Wellington
Welcome back to the North Island. We take the famous Interislander ferry crossing through the Queen Charlotte Sound, passing through the Cook Strait between the islands. The rest of the day in Wellington is at leisure.
Day 6: Wellington > Taupo
Traveling north from Wellington, we visit Tongariro National Park, the oldest national park in New Zealand. Look forward to stunning photos of Mount Tongariro and the historic Château Tongariro Hotel at its base. Overnight stay in Taupo, near Lake Taupo.
Day 7: Taupo > Auckland
On our final day, we visit the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and enjoy a boat tour beneath thousands of glowing worms. After this spectacular highlight, we return to Auckland for our traditional farewell dinner, reflecting together on our unforgettable photography tour through New Zealand.

>>> All Reuthers Photo Tours convey the peculiarities of landscape photography and portrait photography with corresponding motifs. You learn more about the look for graphic accents and different perspectives as well as the use of different focal lengths. Finally, it is subtleties that lead to an individual photograph. For early risers we have the sunrise in the program - for night owls the sunset. And, of course, we will discuss the photo shoots of the participants in the tour group and award the best photo at the end of a Reuthers Photo Tour <<<
