ROVING Photography Expedition

Matakana, Tawharanui & Northland

Dates TBC
This workshop is currently on hold due to uncertainty over COVID.
We’re developing routes through northland and expect to launch these trips sometime in November.

There’s never been anything quite like this!

Supercharge your photography using a convoy of high-spec motorhomes from Wilderness while we explore Sculpture farms, Kiwi, Glow Worms, Astro & Landscapes for one stunning long weekend in late October.

With three experienced guides from High Res Tours and Amazing New Zealand, we’ll do all the driving, so you can just step out and shoot.

Our vehicles sleep max 4 with comfortable beds with linen (2 single beds and one double if you are a couple), all-night heating, fridges and cooking facilities, power for your cameras and laptops, bathrooms with toilet & shower (towels are provided), and space for relaxing and editing.

  • Includes Dinner and Wine Tasting at the fabulous Rothko restaurant

  • Capture the extraordinary Sculptures at the Sculptureum under the night sky.

  • Photograph Kiwi in the wild in Tawharanui Regional Park before Sunrise on the Peninsula.

  • Spend a morning relaxing at the Matakana Markets

  • Stay overnight at the Waipu Glow Worm Caves, one of the trickiest yet most rewarding subjects to photograph.

  • Sunset, Sand Dunes, and Stars in Northland’s Hokianga

Tuition is from Lumix Ambassador Charles Brooks. We’ll have a huge range of gear to play with. The latest cameras and lenses from Lumix, Nikon, Tamron and Samyang. Time lapse equipment from Syrp.

THIS WORKSHOP IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

The exact route will be timed around the weather on the weekend. The beauty of a mobile workshop is we can move according to the conditions, to ensure you’re in the best spot possible.

The expected cost is $1300 per person for 3 nights/3 days (including 3 dinners)
Max 8 participants


Price Includes all transport, accommodation, guides, drivers, museum and park entry fees, DOC concessions, selected restaurant meals, gear hire and tuition.
