THE ULTIMATE NEW ZEALAND

9-DAY LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR

( limited to 8 places ) 

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with our 9-day Ultimate New Zealand South Island Photography Tour.

Travel in comfort aboard our luxury mini-coach, designed for a relaxed and seamless experience throughout the journey.

Each night, unwind in carefully selected quality accommodations, complemented by exceptional dining that showcases the region’s finest local produce. Guided by two highly experienced professional photographers, Brett and Lisa, you’ll be taken deep into some of the South Island’s most spectacular and diverse landscapes.

From the majestic Mount Cook and Mackenzie regions to the dramatic wilderness of Fiordland National Park—home to the world-renowned “eighth wonder of the world,” Milford Sound—the rugged beauty and waterfalls of The Catlins, the vast and remote Canterbury backcountry, and the striking rawness of the Otago coastline, including the iconic Moeraki Boulders and Nugget Point Lighthouse, this tour is built around our own hand-picked favourite locations for landscape photography. These are the places we return to time and time again—chosen for their unique light, composition opportunities, and ability to consistently deliver unforgettable images.

Along the way, you’ll capture a mix of iconic scenes and lesser-known gems—the majestic Southern Alps, wild coastlines, alpine lakes and glaciers, waterfalls, and fascinating geological formations.

A true highlight of the experience is an exclusive sunrise aerial flight, offering breathtaking views over the Southern Alps as first light illuminates the landscape—an unforgettable opportunity for any landscape photographer.

This tour is your creative canvas, with New Zealand’s most compelling landscapes as your palette, ensuring every moment offers the chance to capture something extraordinary.
