Interpretive experiences for outdoorsy nature and photo-enthusiasts
If you love to explore the great outdoors and photograph nature’s beauty, then a Shutterbug Walkabouts photo-oriented tour is the perfect choice for you.
A photo-oriented tour is a truly immersive nature-based experience enriched by a unique blend of complementing activities.
Ideal for outdoorsy nature and photo-enthusiasts.
An all-encompassing interpretive experience
Our photo-oriented tours bear little resemblance to a conventional photography tour. Nor are they like a mainstream sightseeing tour that simply doesn’t allow sufficient time for taking the photos that you want.
During your journey, learn about Tasmania’s natural environment and history, engage in space and place and take unique photos, not just snapshots. The overall experience is enriched with a unique blend of activities for outdoorsy nature and photo-enthusiasts, who love to explore the great outdoors and photograph nature’s beauty.
Discover, Experience and Photograph
Tasmania’s nature reserves and national parks, World Heritage Wilderness Areas and heritage and historic sites are significantly featured in our itineraries – all of which Tasmania is very well-renowned for.
You will be captivated by the abundance of adorable birds and wildlife in Tasmania, and the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in your surroundings. Take delight in a wondrous experience and return home with a collection of extraordinary photos to forever evoke fond memories of your holiday in Tasmania.
Led by an Experienced Guide and Photographer
Our photo-oriented tours are fully guided by an experienced local guide, who is also an accomplished nature and wildlife photographer. Not only will you be captivated by an array of topics about Tasmania, you will be enlightened by hints and guidance for refining your photos along the way. Our focus is on the many features that make each destination and location distinctive.
A dedicated photography tutor may accompany you on the journey for a workshop style tuition-focused experience. Or if you a prefer, a private photography tuition session with an expert tutor before your tour is another great idea.
Non-photographers enjoy the experience too
Our unique blend of activities makes the overall experience enjoyable for all, making it a quintessential experience to share with a spouse, partner or friend. It’s your tour, so we devote the time to how you wish to spend it.
Flexible and attentive approach
Spend time engaging in activities that interest you most, at a pace that suits you. You may like to enhance or adapt your itinerary, or create a bespoke itinerary for a desired route, duration or activities. Day and multi-day touring itineraries are available, and we have options for self-drivers too.
