Ultimate Guide to New Zealand

I have spent over 10 years travelling New Zealand with my camera as a professional landscape photographer and I love exploring the unknown and finding the all-important elements that connect humans with nature. There are not many people that know New Zealand's best photography spots better than me and my hope is to both inspire you to visit this beautiful country, but also help guide you towards an experience you'll never forget.

In this guide to NZ you will find my favourite photography spots, hikes I can personally recommend, places to stay and eat, wineries, epic activities, cultural experiences, the best locations for that perfect New Zealand photo and some of the must do places that I think can not be missed on a trip to New Zealand.

My partner and I purchased a personalized itinerary for our New Zealand trip from Rach and we could not recommend this more. Rach went above and beyond to create a really thoughtfully planned and personally tailored adventure for us. Truly the best experience!

Where to start this guide is amazing and you won’t be disappointed. I brought the guide nearly year before my trip to South Island New Zealand and it helped me plan my trip and what places I wanted to see and time frames I needed etc. I downloaded it before I left Australia so I could access it if I had no service. It’s so educational too especially when you haven’t been to New Zealand before. Rachael even gives you suggestions with lens etc which I loved especially when I love to take photos.

An amazing resource for putting together a New Zealand travel itinerary. Even more so if you're a keen photographer! The amount of information and knowledge that must have gone into this is staggering - including example photos that Rach has taken, recommended times of day and focal lengths to use, plus directions to the locations. I like that each place is linked to nearby things to see and places to stay.

The interactive map function and app that you can download onto phone is the cherry on top of an already incredible cake. Really easy to use. 10/10 would recommend to anybody planning a trip to New Zealand.

I recently returned from an incredible 18-day trip to New Zealand, and I owe a huge thank-you to Rach for the amazing travel tips and itinerary suggestions. Every single spot she recommended was absolutely breathtaking. I followed her list closely, and it made the entire trip seamless and unforgettable. From stunning landscapes to hidden gems, her recommendations truly captured the best of what New Zealand has to offer. I loved every moment and can’t thank her enough for her thoughtful guidance. Highly recommend her expertise for anyone planning a trip!

Really nice and visualy stuning, though option to filter only one island would be definitely useful.
