Nature Photography Tour
What to expect:
- Over three hours you’ll learn from an expert nature photographer who will guide you through Ngā Manu’s extensive forest and introduce you to the Kāpiti Coast’s flora and fauna.
- The small group is to ensure an optimal learning environment and allows you to connect and have fun with like-minded peers and see the best of Ngā Manu’s Nature Reserve.
- Ideal for all levels, from beginners to masterclass photographers.
- Tours are able to go anywhere around the Reserve under the guidance of your photography instructor. No two tours are the same.
