5.00★★★★★ I had an absolutely fantastic experience on Glen Howey's photography tour of Glenorchy! Glen proved to be an exceptional tour guide who brought together the perfect combination of local expertise and photographic instruction. What impressed me most was Glen's deep knowledge of the Glenorchy area - he shared fascinating insights about the landscape, history, and hidden gems that I never would have discovered on my own. His passion for the region really shines through and adds so much depth to the experience. Beyond being an excellent guide, Glen is a skilled photography instructor. He took the time to teach me various landscape photography techniques, offering practical tips and hands-on guidance that immediately improved my shots. His teaching style is patient and encouraging, making complex concepts accessible regardless of your skill level. Most importantly, this tour completely reignited my passion for photography. Glen's enthusiasm is infectious, and his expert guidance helped me see the landscape through new eyes. I came away not just with better photos, but with renewed excitement for the craft. I highly recommend Glen Howey's photography tours to anyone looking to explore Glenorchy while developing their photography skills. It's an experience that delivers on multiple levels - exceptional guiding, quality instruction, and genuine inspiration. Thank you, Glen, for such a memorable and enriching experience!
What an amazing experience - highly recommend!

5.00If you get the chance to participate in on of Glen's tours - do it! This was one of my highlights during my trip in New Zealand. Never been so happy to get up way before dawn ;) Glen is so knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. It's amazing to see that he still get's excited about the Glenorchy area that he's seen so many times. I loved the many short stops we took when the light was hitting the scenery just right. The morning went by so quickly and I had an absolute blast.

5.00Such a great workshop experience - Glen showed us some amazing spots and the photos we took are incredible. He's super passionate about Glenorchy and even gave me some LOTR film intel. I learned a fair bit about my camera, and gained a lot more confidence using a tripod. Would highly highly recommend!
An amazing experience from a very skilled photographer with jaw dropping scenery to go with it!

5.00Glen is a great photographer, willing to help make suggestions . He has great stories about the area and alters the tour based on weather conditions so you get great shots come rain, cloud or shine! He kindly accepted my non-phitographer cousin to join at half price! Lovely time, I'd highly recommend this tour

5.00I did a morning tour with Glen around the Queenstown area, and it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my trip to New Zealand. Glen's local knowledge was invaluable in showing us around several amazing locations in the Queenstown and Wanaka area. He was very flexible with timings and picking us up from our accommodation, and his enthusiasm for the day was infectious and made the day really fun. Glen's knowledge of photography is absolutely fantastic and I found immediately improvements to my photos while on the tour. His knowledge and natural teaching ability are of benefit to novices and seasoned photographers alike. Thanks for the tour!

5.00This tour was the highlight of our recent trip to Queenstown! I purchased the tour for my partner as a birthday present. And his words were “best present ever.” We loved Glen’s enthusiasm and passion for the scenery NZ has to offer as well as landscape photography. Glen taught us a number of new techniques and looked after us amazingly - he kept us warm and comfortable (it was freezing!). We are really pleased with the photos we came away with and can’t wait to come back to take more! Thanks Glen 🙏🤩

5.00This is my third photo tour with Glen. He is both technically proficient with cameras (regardless of manufacturer) and also has eye for beauty, design and frame. Although he lives in Queenstown, every day is like new day for him and gets overwhelmed with the sheer rugged beauty of the place. Glen is flexible and willing to work around your schedule and make additional stop or skip areas that you are not interested in. From photography perspective I learn something new from him with every step I take with him in the wilderness.
Fantastic tour !!!
