About This Experience

Explore Queenstown and the Southern Lakes on a private full-day tour with Martin, an experienced local landscape photographer and guide.

Combining spectacular sightseeing with friendly, practical guidance, this tour welcomes everyone—from experienced photographers to beginners using a camera or phone. It is equally rewarding if you simply want to explore beautiful places and have your guide photograph you along the way.

Travel in a comfortable 4WD among alpine peaks, lakes, rivers, forests and historic places, visiting famous viewpoints and quieter corners known mainly to locals. Your route is shaped around the season, weather, changing light and your interests.

Learn about composition, light and camera settings at your own pace, or relax and enjoy the scenery while your guide helps you create memorable images. Photographs taken by your guide are shared with you after the tour.

Return to Queenstown with stronger photographs, new skills and memories of an extraordinary day.
