Join us on this amazing experience exploring one of the most beautiful glowworm caves in Waitomo! We will explore by foot by boat in a small group of no more than 6 photographers. We will explore 2 different caves and we will have them to ourselves!

Long Exposure

Long exposure smoothes the movement of both clouds and water, and can give your photograph an ethereal look!

Astrophotography

Take advantage of the dark night skies far away from city lights and capture the moon, the Milky Way, and star trails!

Editing Skills

Learn about using basic panels, colour correction, light correction, the tone curve, colour grading, and much more!

Overview

The tracks are safe and easy, though a moderate level of fitness is required as we will be walking for an estimated 20-40 minutes to reach our shooting locations. We will travel at a slow pace and allow extra time to ensure we arrive on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you curious about how the tour is planned? Worried about what to bring?

  • Saturday afternoon: We will head to the Cathedral Cove to shoot sunset (long exposures among them) and we will wait until it gets dark to do some Milky Way photos.
