Autumn in April on the South Island of New Zealand is a photographer’s dream location!
About this expedition
Autumn in April on the South Island of New Zealand is a photographer’s dream location! Follow the color, landscape photography at its best! Daily excursions to the colorful villages outside Queenstown including Arrowtown, Cardrona, Twizel, and Lake Wanaka. A scenic drive to Milford Sound with an overnight cruise and return by charter flight. Morning 4×4 adventures to an old mining town and heli tours over the braided rivers and Mount Cook with glacier landing. Star gaze in one of the darkest places in the world. An evening and morning shoot of the mystical Moeraki Boulders. Fly by charter to Marlborough wine country. Indulge in the ever-changing hues of the vineyards as you sip on renowned wines. Savor the culinary cuisine. Beyond the beautiful landscapes, photograph local dusky dolphins at sunrise on our own chartered vessel. Non-photographing spouses welcome!
Itinerary
After 2016 April’s scouting tour of New Zealand, Natural Exposures has created an exclusive itinerary for guests which combines photography and vacation. There is nothing like the South Island during autumn!
Unlike many other tour companies, we include all the extras, internal charter flights to cut down on travel time, private excursions, and heli aerials of Mt. Cook. Most groups drive five hours to Milford Sound, go for a day cruise and then drive five hours back, not us! We’ll do the scenic drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound, enjoy an overnight cruise in the most beautiful fjord in the world and return by private charter flight. Our guests will enjoy rooms with picturesque views, gourmet cuisine, and finish off with outstanding, award-winning New Zealand wines. Many excursions are optional for non- photographing spouses. We’re very excited to offer this trip in 2018!

Don’t forget, we’re offering an optional Tahiti pre-tour for those who want to ease the long flight to New Zealand. It’s a perfect stopover, relax in the ultimate setting. Stay on the private island of La Taha’a in its famous “on-the-water bungalows” featuring glass floors to watch the fish below. Snorkel the crystal clear waters with colorful fish, enjoy a lagoon safari, photograph fire dancers on the beach, and visit a pearl factory.
