Photography Highlights of Wanaka and Central Otago

Wanaka’s mountain village charm makes it one of the most photogenic spots in New Zealand. Over three days, you’ll explore everything from alpine views to hidden valleys, guided by a local expert who knows the land intimately. The shifting light and dramatic landscapes create endless opportunities for striking shots.

With a private 4WD, you’ll have access to off-the-beaten-track locations that few visitors ever see. These remote areas are perfect for capturing untouched scenery and unique perspectives. Whether you prefer lakeside reflections or rugged mountain passes, each stop is carefully chosen to match your interests.

A Flexible Tour Designed for All Levels

This private tour caters to both beginners and seasoned photographers. Your guide will adjust each day’s itinerary to match the season, weather, and your personal preferences, making every moment feel unique. It’s the perfect way to focus on your craft without distractions.

Accommodation at the Edgewater Hotel is included, providing comfort after full days in the field. For those seeking an extra thrill, an optional helicopter ride offers aerial views of Lake Wanaka and Mt Aspiring National Park. It’s an unforgettable chance to see Central Otago’s beauty from above.
