New Zealand's stunning vistas of snow-capped mountains, unspoiled beaches and never-ending rolling green hills inspire photographers near and far to travel to the Land of the Long White Cloud in search of the next great 'shot.' On locum tenens assignments you can visit some of these treasured locales, which are considered some of the best photo opportunities in the world.
The overlooked surf town of Raglan is worth a trip simply for its sunset, which can be seen beyond the colossal left-hand break at Manu Bay, a stretch of wave that is said to be the longest in the world. The region was even featured in the 1966 surfer film Endless Summer. About two hours south of Auckland, the town essentially thrives because of beach-goers that visit its coastline for the epic waves.
Another unmatched sight is Abel Tasman National Park, where the sands are white and the ocean is a serene shade of cyan. A perfect one-day walk is the Coastal Track, which takes you through dense rainforests with beautiful blue-bay vistas and tropical island views of the park's pristine beaches.
