Wellness in New Zealand means geothermal water, time outdoors and very dark skies. Rotorua's geothermal pools give a natural reason to slow down, a stargazing night at Lake Tekapo is a calm, reflective piece, and short walks in Fiordland or the Mackenzie Basin add fresh air. Filming inside bathing areas is never allowed.
What can I film?
- Geothermal pools in Rotorua, where the venue allows filming.
- A stargazing tour inside the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve.
- Lakeside and forest walks in Te Anau and Queenstown.
- The redwood forest at Whakarewarewa in Rotorua.
What are the limits?
Never film in changing rooms or where other bathers are present. Follow each venue's filming rules. We ask you not to make medical or health claims about geothermal water or treatments.
