Experience catalogue

Experiences in New Zealand

The New Zealand catalogue covers what creators most often ask to film: Maungawhau and the Auckland harbour, a Rotorua geothermal day with a Māori cultural evening, Wellington's Te Papa and cable car, a Queenstown jet boat and gondola, a Milford Sound cruise, and stargazing at Lake Tekapo. Your tier decides how many you get.

How are experiences chosen?

We match experiences to the niche your audience follows you for, then fit them to the season, the distances and your dates. An adventure channel gets Queenstown and Fiordland with weather days in hand; a culture channel gets Rotorua with time to listen, and Te Papa for the context.

Do filming rules differ between experiences?

Yes. Cultural experiences follow the hosts' protocol, national parks are conservation land managed by the Department of Conservation, Auckland's volcanic cones have their own authority, and drone rules change from place to place. Each experience page lists its shooting notes.
