Design Your Own tours are exactly that: your design. Based on the information you give us regarding the time you have available, photographic interests, and any other preferences, we tailor-make a tour itinerary just for you. As it is your tour we continue to fine tune the route and program until we come up with the best schedule for your time here. What could be better than that? So whether you are looking for a trip just for yourself or have a group to organise an expedition for we would love to help you get the most out of your photography in New Zealand.
Like our scheduled tours, private tours are suitable for all levels of photographer. If you are just starting out in photography or are an amateur wanting to improve your images then travelling with a professional photographer is the ideal way to learn and hone your skills. If you are an advanced amateur or professional, then having an expert guide to lead you to prime photographic locations at the right times of the day will ensure your time in New Zealand is used most effectively.

Taking a private tour allows you to choose an itinerary which best suits your schedule, photographic interests and physical capabilities. Imagine the uniqueness of a helicopter tour across the South Island, photographing in locations only a privileged few ever see. Maybe even trek along remote New Zealand tracks, many of which are unknown by visitors, taking you from secret valleys to mountain wildernesses.
