For the travelling photographer, New Zealand offers a wide choice. Our country was chosen as the location to bring fantasy to reality in the Lord of the Rings films and the soon to be released Hobbit Trilogy directed by Kiwi Peter Jackson.
We aim to help you distill that choice by combining your wishes with our local knowledge to put together an itinerary that reflects the best way to see , photograph and experience everything you want. We know it is a long trip to New Zealand from most places, so it is important that your time here is planned well. Our expertise will help you get the shots that you want. No guidebook can be a substitute for local knowledge.
Our tours are also as environmentally friendly as they can be; we use a hybrid vehicle, we choose partners that have clear environmental policies and we make an annual donation to environmental charities working in New Zealand so that your visit here helps to maintain our beautiful country for the future generations to come.
Get in touch with us today and let us begin planning your ultimate New Zealand Photo Tour.
Please note that we are now fully booked in June and July 2013.
We will be very pleased to work with you for trips earlier or later in the year, or next year.

Professional wildlife photographer Laura Crawford Williams travelled with us on a visit to NZ.
Laura's outstanding work has been featured in National Geographic magazine and a number of other respected publications.
You can read about her trip and see some of the images she took here on her blog here.
It is quite a challenge - and great fun, so I recommend it.
What Our clients say
"Dear Marcus & Wendy,
Thank you for the wonderful photography tour and luxurious stay at Akrotiri Estate. Your tailor-made photography tour was very well planned and the ride in your 4WD very comfortable.
Despite the fact that I have been to NZ a number of times you managed to take me to some places where I still hadn't been. The drive through the Desert Road was a new experience for me and I particularly enjoyed the drive through the "Lost Highway", where I was lucky enough to photograph a large pack of sheep being herded. I've been waiting a long time to photograph that! I also enjoyed the drive up to "Le Chateau" and "Mount Doom" (and I finally got to use my winter gear!). That's one particular reason that I keep coming back to New Zealand...such a diverse choice of unspoiled landscapes.
Towards the end of my tour, the last two nights at Akrotiri Estate was very relaxing. Thank you for that personal touch, and stocking my favorite juice on such short notice. I really appreciated that. Thank you for your hospitality and company...I can't wait to come back. "
