NZ Wildlife Photography Tour - 9 Days

Join us on this 9-day Wildlife Photography Tour. This tour will explore some of the best spots in New Zealand for wildlife photography. Starting at Otago Peninsula, know as the wildlife capital of New Zealand, we also visit the Catlins and Stewart Island.

Some of the species of note are, New Zealand sea lions and fur seals, as well as a host of rare bird species, such as the yellow-eyed penguin, northern royal albatross, Stewart Island kiwi, Stewart Island weka, Stewart Island robin, rifleman. A highlight will be staying at the famous Larnach Castle as well as Stewart Island Lodge.

The first 4-days our the tour will be based on the Otago Peninsula and takes in our Wildlife Masterclass Workshop, designed to perfect the techniques of shooting coastal wildlife, coastal birds and coastal landscape photography; with dedicated tuition sessions and notes on these subjects.

The workshop concludes with a processing printing two of your best images as 16x22" fine art prints using the latest Epson SC-P800 printer. We will also have a number of Tamron 150-600mm lenses along with some additional Nikon cameras & lenses available for shared use during the workshop to help you capture some amazing close up wildlife images.

Then we travel to Stewart Island, a unique gem of New Zealand. Exploring the coastline by boat and a trip to predator-free Ulva Island gives us the chance to photograph some of New Zealand’s bird species, some of which are only found on Stewart Island. We spend our time on Stewart Island exploring the forests, bays and beaches where these species live.
