Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in Australia/Oceania

You'll photograph ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr in Kakadu National Park and capture 50,000+ glowing bulbs at Uluru's Field of Light on this 15-day cultural photography trip. Shoot the 348-metre Uluru at sunrise and Kata Tjuta's towering domes at Walpa Gorge, then snap wildlife like sea eagles during a Yellow Water cruise.

You'll start with a Welcome to Country ceremony at Nyanda Waterhole Reserve near Brisbane, where Aboriginal guides walk you through ancient traditions and let you try bush tucker. Then head north to Cairns to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef's colorful coral—it's 135,135 miles of 3,000 reefs. Back south, check out Melbourne's street art and the Shrine of Remembrance before a private tour of the Sydney Opera House.

You'll see the 2,000-year-old Tāne Mahuta kauri tree standing 51 meters tall in Waipoua Forest, then take an Akaroa harbour cruise to spot seals and penguins. Walk through Hobbiton Movie Set in Waikato with 44 furnished Hobbit holes, photograph Milford Sound's waterfalls, and ride the TSS Earnslaw steamship across Lake Wakatipu.

Grab shots of Ormiston Gorge's red rock walls and Standley Chasm's ancient sandstone passage (also called Angkerle Atwatye) on this photographer's trip through the Red Centre. The tour hits the colorful Ochre Pits used for Aboriginal ceremonies and Kings Canyon's towering cliffs in Watarrka National Park, with small groups of max 21.
