📸 Photography-Focused Travel Experiences
One of our most exciting specialties is combining photography with immersive travel.

Lesley personally designs and hosts photography-inclusive itineraries that go far beyond standard sightseeing. Each journey is thoughtfully curated to capture the heart of New Zealand’s wild beauty — from dramatic coastlines and high-country landscapes to hidden waterfalls, heritage sites, and secluded wildlife habitats.
Through Lesley’s extensive local relationships, your clients will enjoy private access to locations not open to the public— including working farms, historic homesteads, and conservation areas known only to locals. Combined with Lesley’s professional guidance and hands-on support, these experiences give photographers the chance to create portfolio-worthy images in an atmosphere that is relaxed, inspiring, and creatively enriching.
For your photography-focused travellers, Travel With Lesley Whyte delivers more than a tour — it’s a creative adventure, an opportunity to connect deeply with nature, and a chance to see New Zealand through a truly unique lens.
