Half Day Queenstown & Beyond Private Scenic Photography Tour

Spend 4 to 5 hours exploring Queenstown and the Southern Lakes with a private guide who is both a passionate local landscape photographer and an experienced mentor. This tour is built around your interests, skill level, and the light and weather on the day, so the route is discussed with you before heading out.

Possible destinations include Glenorchy, The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, Skippers Canyon, and Gibbston. Depending on conditions, you may also photograph glacial lakes, mountain ranges, alpine high country, icy blue rivers, waterfalls, canyons, gorges, and areas shaped by gold mining, fruit growing, and wine production. The region’s fast-changing weather can bring very different moods to the mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests, and your guide uses local knowledge to choose the best locations for the conditions.

Along the way, you will get practical help with composition, exposure, and making the most of your camera. The focus is on helping photography enthusiasts create stronger images while spending time in some of the most distinctive landscapes around Queenstown. After the tour, you also receive take-home guides on using your camera and composing photos.
