Day oneQUEENSTOWN
An early start as we set out to capture the sunrise on Lake Wakatipu. We then continue on into the Mt Aspiring National Park. Impressive mountains, crystal clear rivers and country scenes provide us with many exciting photographic opportunities. In the early afternoon we return to Queenstown for a break before we set off again to photograph the aptly-named Remarkables mountain range.

Day twoQUEENSTOWN
We spend the morning photographing the rugged mountains near Queenstown before returning to the town. The afternoon is yours to relax, go jetboating, take the steamboat across the lake, ride the gondola for a panoramic view of Queenstown, do a bungy jump, visit a winery, shop, or just stroll along the lakefront. We meet again for an evening shoot of the mountains.

Day threeQUEENSTOWN - MILFORD SOUND
We leave Queenstown this morning and make our way to Milford Sound. The drive to the fiord is every bit as spectacular as the destination, and visitors are always overwhelmed by the grandeur of the landscape. We stop to photograph dramatic glacial valleys, expansive mountain vistas and forest-fringed lakes. No doubt at one of our stops we will be greeted by the cheeky mountain parrot, the kea. Later in the afternoon we arrive at Milford Sound and shoot the fiord as the sun sets.

Day fourMILFORD SOUND - QUEENSTOWN
This morning we take a boat journey along the fiord and out to the Tasman Sea. As well as shooting this incredible landscape of sheer mountains, cascading waterfalls and untouched coastline it is possible we will see seals and dolphins. Once back ashore we spend the rest of the day photographing at different locations in the Fiordland National Park as we make our way back to Queenstown.

Day fiveQUEENSTOWN - FOX GLACIER
We leave Queenstown this morning and travel west past the the mountain-bordered Lakes Hawea and Wanaka. Once over the Haast Pass we descend to the West Coast. One of our first shoots on the West Coast is at an ancient swamp, filled with New Zealand's tallest growing trees: the kahikatea. We then continue north to the Fox Glacier Village and hike around Lake Matheson where, on a still day, New Zealand’s two highest peaks, Mts Aoraki/Cook and Tasman, are reflected in the dark waters.

Day sevenFOX GLACIER - PUNAKAIKI  
This morning we continue travelling north. We make a stop at Franz Josef glacier and an easy walk leads us to a magnificent location to photograph. In the afternoon we arrive at Punakaiki where the force of the ocean has carved the coastline into fascinating rock sculptures, and we arrive in the afternoon at the most unusual of these formations: the Pancake Rocks.

Day eightPUNAKAIKI - KAIKOURA
From one coast to another, today we drive from the west to the east coast to our next destination: Kaikoura. Overlooked by majestic mountains, which are snow-capped for many months of the year, this coastal town was once only known for the rock lobster caught here. Now, Kaikoura is famous for the abundance of marine mammals and seabirds found offshore. We arrive in the late afternoon in time to shoot the late light along the coast.

Day nineKAIKOURA
This morning we join a sea cruise to photograph Dusky dolphins - natural acrobats who seem to enjoy showing off their skills for spectators. Quite often we have encountered pods of over 200 of these photogenic mammals, so there are plenty of chances to capture stunning imagery. In the afternoon we take a break before meeting up for our evening shoot of the mountain-backed coast.

Day tenKAIKOURA - AORAKI/MT COOK NATIONAL PARK
After a sunrise shoot, we head towards the heart of the Southern Alps and the home of New Zealand's highest mountain: Aoraki/Mt Cook. We arrive at the Mt Cook Village later in the afternoon in time for a twilight shoot of Aoraki/Mt Cook.
