Before following the 44km Glenorchy Road. we begin our experience photographing you with the Remarkable Mountains as your backdrop. We mihi to the landmarks of the huge alpine peaks that are either side of our route and introduce their Māori significance for you to contemplate.

Punatapu/ Bob's Cove, an area of botanical significance, we walk along this beautiful horseshoe bay through a native bush which cloaks the track and shows what pre-European vegetation existed on the edge of Lake Whakitipu-wai-Maori. This reserve is managed by DOC and being a DOC concession holder we have permission to guide you through this beautiful place. Here we photograph you in this native bush setting see beech, southern rātā and mātai, with a honey tasting of Glenorchy Road honey lake edge, whilst we savour the ancient forest. You'll get to see fine examples of New Zealand bush as we walk along the path, taking beautiful photographs of you along the way. This is a great opportunity to start to slow down, breath in fresh air and really appreciate what the Southern Lakes has to offer. Once we reach the shoreline you'll love skimming stones and tasting local honey. The water is crystal clear with majestic mountains on the horizon. A truly iconic kiwi place to visit.

Bennet Bluff is world famous lookout on a world famous road. One of the high points along the road it offers views towards the head of the Lake. Often this is the iconic Glenorchy landscape.

We stop at Meiklejohns Bay and/ or Twenty Five Mile Stream so you can experience the lake solitude. Yellow wild lupins, flowering yellow kowhai trees with native tui birdsong or. a playful game of stone skimming create wonderful moments for us to capture you with our cameras.

You'll love Glenorchy township. We spend a little time at the world famous wharf and lagoon. Then there is time to stop in at Mrs Wooleys General Store a wonderfully sustainable focused uniquely artisan store and cafe. Before we head further on ouur journey to Mount Aspiring National Park.

It is here we pause for our seasonal picnic prepared wiith local produce and listen to the birdsong at the entrance to the Routeburn Track. We can either enjoy the surroundings or walk the Loop track with our DOC concessions and permits.
