Itinerary
Open AllYour tour will start when you are picked you up from your Nelson accommodation or a pre-arranged city location before being driven out to the Abel Tasman National Park to photograph lush beech forest and limestone rock formations. On the drive out there will be opportunities to stop at locations to photograph scenic views of the area and bush clad streams. We will also stop to pick up lunch (at your own cost) before heading into the national park.
We will spend most of the day exploring the inland Abel Tasman National Park and learning how to take control of some of the most important settings on your camera. After this we will head to the coast and take a short bush walk to photograph Split Apple Rock at sunset.
This bespoke tour is for 1 person. There is no extra charge for a second person to join if booking together. The start time of this tour is flexible. Ideally, a time will be picked to allow for the tour to commence in a sunset shoot. This depends on sunset time and your travel schedule. We will contact once a booking has been made to reconfirm the best pick-up time for you
HELICOPTER ADD-ON There are parts of New Zealand that are still true wilderness and on this tour we fly you into the heart of Kahurangi National Park. Our first location is Mount Owen, the highest peak in the park. We leave early in the morning to allow plenty of time to photograph this stunning location in morning light. From here, we fly further into Kahurangi to Mount Olympus, a location made famous by the Lord of the Rings movies.
BOAT CHARTER ADD-ON Spend the day photographing the world famous Abel Tasman National Park on your own privately chartered boat. The coastline of the Abel Tasman is made up of small bays with stunning beaches and rock formations that provide wonderful photography subjects. As well as exploring the beautiful coastline we will also call into some of the most photogenic points in the Abel Tasman and follow short walking tracks to stunning viewpoints.
