Capture the Beauty of Wanaka Through Your Lens

Wanaka’s dramatic mountains, shimmering lake, and year-round natural light make it a paradise for photographers. This private photography tour gives you exclusive access to the best-known locations along with secret spots that only locals can reveal. With a skilled photographer as your guide, you’ll receive expert tips to enhance your creative shots.

Over the course of eight hours, you’ll discover a variety of landscapes from alpine vistas to tranquil lakeside reflections. Travelling by 4WD allows you to reach off-the-beaten-track places that many visitors never get to see. Every location is chosen to help you capture diverse perspectives and improve your technical skills.

Personalised Photography Experience in Wanaka

This tour is designed for photographers of all levels, from beginners wanting to master the basics to enthusiasts eager to refine their technique. Your guide will tailor the workshop to your interests, ensuring you gain confidence behind the camera. With one-on-one coaching, you’ll learn how to make the most of Wanaka’s unique light and landscapes.

Unlike large group tours, this private experience means you set the pace and focus on the subjects that inspire you most. Whether it’s wide-angle shots of rugged peaks or intimate close-ups of natural textures, your guide will help you craft images with lasting impact. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with not just photos, but new skills and insights to use in your future photography.
