On our photography tours we provide beautiful natural New Zealand scenery both inside and outside of the glow worm caves, with an experienced guide.
These tours are “private”. That is, your group and your guide will be the only participants on the tour. On photography tours we take a minimum of two and a maximum of four people.
There are excellent photo opportunities, including beautiful glow worms. The cave system is one of only two in the Waitomo district that is classified by New Zealand's Department of Conservation as being of “International Significance”. And it is completely untouched!
On photography tours we allow larger cameras and other equipment like small tripods. And you have the freedom to take a lot more time over your photography than you do on our other tours. Photographing glow worms is challenging, and can take some time. The results though can be spectacular!

We were just my husband and I for this visit. The Ash guide is exceptional. The experience is unique. I had chosen from the comments and I do not regret. Special mention for striped outfits. To do absolutely!

This was the best experience ever! Ash was the best guide and it was totally worth it to do the private tour since we had so much time to figure out the camera settings for pictures. I thought we were just walking on a path in the caves, but we were in the water and ducking and shimmying on rocks and it was soooo much fun! 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful. Private cave tour, 1 guide + 6 participants. Not suitable for those suffering from claustrophobia, the tour is a continuous climbing over stones, boulders and holes. It is still safe and no one is left behind. Before leaving we stopped at an "enlightened" spot. Clothes (including boots and socks) are given by them (does not apply to underwear)

This was an amazing experience! It was exciting to be able to make our way through a cave in its natural state. We appreciated being provided with clothing, boots, and helmet with light for our adventure climbing over the rocks and sloshing through the underground water. Ash is an awesome guide, and he led us through the cave with both knowledge and a good sense of humor, as well as with kindness and concern for everyone in the group. We loved too that he offered to take great photos of us as we went through the cave, and with the incredible glow worms above us. This experience is a highlight of our trip!

Ash is a great guide, knowledgeable and the type of guy you’d grab a beer with. Photography tour is definitely worth the money!
