Photography Workshops & Charters
Okarito offers photography enthusiasts a magnificent landscape and bird life palate to choose from. We are an integral component of workshops offered by two renowned local photographers Rina Sjardin-Thompson and Andris Apse. We can also provide private charters for your personal photography, workshop or group/photography club event.
landscapes….

Andris Apse Photography Annual Workshop
We have been delighted to work with Andris over the past 5-6 years providing private charters for his annual Okarito/Mapourika workshop. You must be quick to get into this one - just one a year and maximum 12 people. It is always a sell out. Three days including time on Okarito lagoon and river for sunrise/sunsets and Lake Mapourika for a misty morning shoot. All topped off with Andy's personable attitude, attention to detail and wealth of knowledge and expertise. We have been honoured to be the charter vessel over these years and having just completed his final Okarito Workshop in Okarito, we wish him and Lynne all the best in their new home and gallery in Diamond Harbour, Christchurch.
