Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne Wellington Animal Encounter

Photograph wildlife and nature like a pro! Discover our small-group exclusive photography tours. Over three hours you’ll get unprecedented access to advice from expert photographers and view Zealandia through a whole new lens.
These tours are for keen beginners, ambitious amateurs, and accomplished photographers – anyone seeking to capture incredible once-in-a lifetime moments in nature.

Join Zealandia’s resident photographers on a stroll through the sanctuary to photograph the very best of New Zealand’s native flora and fauna. Capture raindrops on fern fronds, light shining through the forest canopy, and the striking detail and colour of bird feathers.

We will walk at a slow pace, with plenty of time for advice from our resident photographers and for you to try your best shot. As Zealandia is a wild environment, every tour will be different. Our photographers will cover different photography styles depending on what we see on the day. You will spend time at different locations throughout the sanctuary.
