Overview

Join us for a photography expedition to the untamed Wild West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu, New Zealand’s South Island. This remote region, framed by the Southern Alps to the east and pristine white beaches pounded by the Southern Ocean to the west, boasts ancient rainforests, serene lakes, and meandering rivers.

Here, the raw power of nature is always on display: colossal glaciers carve their way through the landscape, while braided rivers flow swiftly across lush green plains, eventually merging with the sea. Water is a constant presence, and untouched wetlands provide a sanctuary for a diverse array of bird species.

Our 3-day private photography tour offers a glimpse into this extraordinary environment. Tailored to accommodate weather conditions, lighting, and your photography expertise, our goal is for you to capture images you’ll proudly showcase.

With 2 nights in Fox, we are well-placed to explore the ancient forests, rivers, lakes and the wild coast under the majestic alps.

Our tour commences in Queenstown, winding through the breathtaking Crown Range, past the majestic lakes Wanaka and Hawea, and into the Haast Pass. As we descend from the arid, mountainous tussock terrain, we enter a dense beech forest, tracing the path of fast-flowing rivers that offer excellent opportunities for capturing a variety of stunning waterfalls. Upon reaching the coast at Haast, we turn northward, arriving at our accommodation in Fox.

An early start awaits on Day 2, as we aim to capture the sunrise at Lake Matheson. Under the right conditions, Mount Cook and the Southern Alps in the distance are beautifully reflected and framed by the tranquil waters and lush beech forest. Throughout the day, we’ll explore the Fox Glacier and Franz Josef area, with options to venture into the forest along various walking trails or explore pristine wetlands and lagoons—abodes for numerous migratory bird species. Weather permitting, there’s also the possibility of a helicopter excursion (NZD $300 to $475, depending on the option you choose on the day) to explore the upper reaches. We’ll conclude the day by capturing the forest and snow-capped peaks during sunset.
