Pre-06 Photo Shootout Pre-06 Photo Shootout Capture the North Island in Four Days Kia ora and welcome to New Zealand the youngest country on earth. New Zealand’s diverse and dramatic landscape draws many visitors to our shores. From fiords to rainforests, ocean beaches to volcanic cones, the relatively untouched landscape is breathtaking, but what makes the visit so special for many is the people they meet. Māori people believe in the concept of ‘Manaakitanga’ this loosely translates as ‘hospitality’ – a concept that Kiwi people have embraced as part of the New Zealand experience. Kiwis are a friendly bunch and the care, engagement and hospitality we show our guests is based on pride and a genuine belief that this country offers something of everything. New Zealand is regularly rated as one of the world’s preferred destinations not just because of its dramatic scenery, wide open spaces, extreme adventure, clean air, enticing food and wine, creativity and flair but also because of the ‘can do’ attitude. Haere Mai. Welcome and enjoy your stay. Customs and MAF requirements On arrival you will need to complete both customs and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) requirements before you can officially enter New Zealand. MAF is responsible for agriculture, horticulture and forestry, safe food, a protected environment, the wise use of the land and the creation of clean, green product. MAF protect farms and wildlife from imported pests and diseases by minimising the number of foreign pests and diseases entering New Zealand. You will be required by law to declare any food or organic material you are carrying. It is important not to ignore this as significant fines can be given to those who do. IMPORTANT: Please use the final itinerary provided in your media pack on arrival in New Zealand. This will include any adjustments and additional contact details crucial to your itinerary The arrangements shown in this itinerary have been made especially for you with the generous support and co-operation of Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs), Air New Zealand, accommodation and product suppliers as detailed. Tourism New Zealand will cover the costs of your accommodation, transport and sightseeing activities and meals as outlined in the itinerary. Please pay all minibar, telephone expenses and laundry yourselves, prior to check out from your accommodation.

The relatively low population means it’s easy to get off the beaten track, and driving conditions—on the left, please—are generally of a high standard. With miles of coastline, active geothermal areas, lakes, forests, volcanoes and verdant pasture the country offers astonishing landscapes at every turn. The physical evidence of a strong Maori culture and its integration with the land also creates strong imagery. The one danger for photographers is probably scenery overload. Itinerary SATW’s Photo Shootouts are a one-of-a-kind tradition—a competition, a discovery, and a valuable professional development experience all rolled into one. Designed for photographers of all levels, participants will have their own rental car for four days to explore the 650 kms (400 miles) from Auckland to Wellington on a route of their own choosing. For the three nights we’ll receive vouchers for lodging en route to Wellington, home of the core convention. Whether you favor the dramatic coastlines and seaside communities, or the unique geothermal inland areas of the Central North Island, chart your own path, stopping at will to capture your dynamic portfolio of the youngest country on earth. In Wellington, we’ll skim the dross to create our portfolios and a team of judges will select the best in a range of categories. Exact format for the competition will be sent to participants ahead of arrival in New Zealand by Shootout Chair Eric Lindberg, SATW’s 2011 Photographer of the Year. Note that pre-tour pricing will include your vehicle and accommodations; the price will not cover your fuel charges, meals and incidentals. In exchange for generous subsidies by our host, each participant will be expected to donate one of their portfolio photos to Tourism New Zealand’s stock library. Although non-pros are welcome to join, the tour and competition are designed for dedicated photographers. Difficulty Rating: EASY Story angles: • Writer-photographers can make time to gather story material as they experience the North Island’s back roads and small towns. Unique photography opportunities: • Too many to list. Components requiring some exertion: • By the most direct route (which participants will likely veer from), the drive from Auckland to Wellington is about 650 kms (400 miles). Participants need to judge their routing and time carefully to ensure arriving in Wellington on time and without undo fatigue. • Be aware that driving is on the left. Special clothing or gear participants must bring: • Comfortable walking shoes, layered clothes for warmth, rain jacket, hat, sunblock. • This is an all-digital shootout; participants will be delivering their portfolios as jpgs 36 hours after arrival in Wellington. • Valid drivers license required. Friday 4 November to Monday 7 Nov Auckland to Wellington Whether you're an amateur or a professional, New Zealand is a photographer's paradise. Mountains and fiords, wild beaches and lush forests, farmland and wilderness, wildlife and nightlife - you'll find an incredibly diverse range of targets for your lens. Fri 4 Nov 0900 – Briefing Meeting Point: SATW tour desk located in the arrival hall in the Auckland international airport; from here you will be directed to the Waeta Room on level 2 for your briefing. A pre briefing to obtain maps, driving rules and Shootout structure will be hosted by a representative from Tourism New Zealand and Eric Lindberg, New Zealand Shootout Chair.

It's an enticing combination of unusual, captivating landscapes; indulgent food and wine experiences; and authentic encounters with Maori culture. You'll journey from the caves of Waitomo to the vineyards of Hastings, with amazing volcanic action in between. Beginning in Auckland, New Zealand's largest population centre, the Thermal Explorer Highway takes you through the Waikato region then on to the geothermal city of Rotorua. After Lake Taupo you have the option of detouring to Tongariro National Park, and then it's over the hills to the wine country of Napier and Hastings. The Pacific Coast Highway takes you on a 1026-kilometre (637-mile), ocean- Pacific Coast Highway flavored journey to spectacular coastal scenery and beaches, forest wilderness, photogenic seaside villages and grape growing districts. The cities of Auckland, Tauranga, Gisborne, Napier and Hastings will satisfy your urge to wine, dine and shop. Amazing natural landscapes such as White Island - an active offshore volcano - will colour your travel memories forever. Most people begin this driving route in Auckland, New Zealand's main international gateway. The Coromandel Peninsula follows, with its beaches and native forests. After the gold mining town of Waihi, the road sweeps along the Bay of Plenty, passing Tauranga and Whakatane, then around East Cape to Hawke's Bay, finishing at Napier.

  • Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021
    Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021 Issue No. 17 | 1 Welcome to Bay Tours & Charters Leisure Guide As I write this, and we head into Christmas and the holiday season it’s hard not to reflect on what has been a difficult year for all of us. Not too many of us will be sorry to see the back of 2020. From a business perspective, there’s never been a more difficult time to be in the tourism industry. The international visitors are no longer here and who knows when they’ll be back. No more cruise ships stopping at Napier until further notice. And whilst some may say “Thank goodness for that. No more traffic nightmares in central Napier, no more hordes of people up Te Mata Peak!” the reality is that thousands of households in Hawke’s Bay rely on the income generated by tourism and a very significant chunk of that has simply disappeared. Napier, in particular, has relied heavily on tourism for decades and whilst the international visitors are no longer currently here, Kiwis have returned to Hawke’s Bay in droves and I suspect this summer, visitations to the region will have more of a family feel. Here at Bay Tours, whilst we certainly haven’t been immune to the huge drop in overseas visitors, we’re thankful for the continued success of the Tour Club. It has been truly heartening to look back at the last 6 months and recall how enthusiastically members responded to our first tentative steps to get out and about again after the lockdown.

In addition to Jackson’s famous TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE EARTH ON THE BIG SCREEN trilogy, other Tolkien-based films (such as the animated adaptations) are covered.
