See all- Glowworms Photography Workshop | Book on linkNeeds location
Join us on this amazing experience exploring one of the most beautiful glowworm caves in Waitomo! We will explore by foot and by boat (very safe and slow-moving) in a small group of no more than 6 photographers.
The tracks are safe and easy, though a moderate level of fitness is required as we will be walking and standing for more than 3 hours. You have to be comfortable being in the dark.
We will travel at a slow pace and allow extra time to ensure we arrive on schedule. After we explore the caves together we will split into 3 groups and rotate so we all get to take the photos we want!
Peter and I will be there supporting you and helping you to achieve the photos you want!
It includes a theory class run online on Thursday 18th at 7 pm. Replay available in case you can't attend.
Price: $497
Group: Minimum 3 maximum 6
