Guided Photo Tour
New Zealand lovers will get their money's worth on this trip. Many impressions and photo stops await you on your journey through the northern part of the north island. Feel the charm of Auckland, the magic of Cape Reinga and dare to look through the 'Hole in the Rock' during a boat trip. A dream trip that is completely dedicated to the northern part of New Zealand.
The Route:
Day 1: Auckland
Kia Ora and Welcome to Auckland, the City of Sails. Join us in the evening for a traditional welcome drink followed by dinner. Getting to know one another is especially important today, and your tour guide will provide detailed information about your upcoming New Zealand photography adventure.
Day 2: Auckland > Whangarei
After the daily briefing, we travel into New Zealand's Northland region, including a photography stop at a honey farm. Overnight stay in Whangarei.
Day 3: Whangarei > Paihia
From Whangarei, we continue to Paihia, located in the historic and popular Bay of Islands. During a boat tour, we explore the famous Hole in the Rock.
Day 4: Paihia > Taipa
We begin the day with a visit to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, the birthplace of New Zealand. Our destination for the day is Taipa, located directly on the beach and the ideal starting point for tomorrow’s journey.
Day 5: Taipa > Dargaville
Today we travel to the northernmost point of New Zealand, visiting Cape Reinga with its small post station, iconic signpost pointing to destinations around the world, and its solitary lighthouse. This is a deeply spiritual place. According to Maori belief, the souls of the deceased descend here into the underworld on their journey back to their ancestral homeland, Hawaiki. After this excursion to the far north, we travel south along the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, crossing by ferry from Kohukohu to Rawene. Our route continues through the Waipoua Kauri Forest, where - depending on opening hours - we encounter Tane Mahuta, the God of the Forest, the most impressive tree in New Zealand, with a diameter of 4.5 m, a height of 51 m, and an age of over 2,000 years. Overnight stay in Dargaville.
Day 6: Dargaville > Auckland
On our last day we travel along the Twin Coast Discovery Highway and will arrive sometime in the afternoon in Auckland. In the evening we meet for our traditional Farewell Dinner in which we can recap the adventures of our 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 <<<
