What To Expect
Your half day tour starts when we pick up you or your group from your accommodation. heading straight out to a high vantage point above Queenstown, you will gain a great overview of the city, Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables Range. This is a chance for your guide to get to know you, your interests and your photography level. Together, you will discuss destination options based on what interests you most, the light and weather on the day. From there we can head in any one of 4 directions: West toward Glenorchy for great views of alpine lakes, mountains and waterfalls. East to take in gold mining heritage in Arrowtown, vineyards in Gibbston Valley and rugged Kawarau Gorge. North takes you high toward Coronet Peak and into wild Skippers Canyon exploring our gold history through rugged alpine landscapes. Or drive south along the shores of Lake Wakatipu skirting the base of the Remarkables Range for staggering mountain and lake vistas, waterfalls and our steam transport heritage.

5.00I had a great afternoon of photography and sightseeing with Martin. Learned a few things and had some laughs along the way. Would definately recommend this tour if you have a free afternoon in Queenstown.

5.00What a wonderful experience! We spent the afternoon traveling to photography locations only a local would know, and got dozens of fantastic pictures that you won't see in the guidebooks or typical tourist spots. Martin was a fantastic teacher and guide, providing great photography tips and historic insight to the locations we visited. It was a wonderful trip and I came away with a month's worth of wonderful images I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. If you love landscape photography you owe it to yourself to book this adventure.
