New Zealand In Autumn Photo Workshop

Photograph New Zealand’s South Island by land, air and water—from autumn colours and alpine peaks to the remote fjords of Milford and Doubtful Sounds.

Discover New Zealand’s South Island with two very experienced photo guides by your side. From the trails of Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park to a scenic flight over the peaks, glaciers and valleys of the Southern Alps.

We will also walk through Fiordland’s forests and mountain scenery, then cruise beneath Milford Sound’s towering cliffs and waterfalls. Our journey ends with an overnight cruise through Doubtful Sound—time to watch the evening light fade and wake to a new morning in this remote landscape.

Your scenic flight, both cruises, meals and transportation are included. Bring your camera and your curiosity—we’ll take care of the details.
