Photoshoot

Located in the heart of New Zealand’s Waikato Region, Tūrangi offers more than just striking landscapes and legendary trout fishing. Here, Korohe Horse Treks presents a unique opportunity to engage intimately with the region’s gentle Waimarino Horses through their immersive Photoshoot experience. This 20-minute session isn’t just about capturing pictures; it’s about forging a connection.

Guests feed, groom, and play with these calm, approachable horses before stepping into a mini photoshoot, camera in hand, to frame moments that feel alive. Set against the backdrop of New Zealand’s verdant countryside, Korohe Horse Treks stands out for blending outdoor adventure with personal interaction, crafting a refreshing alternative to the more traditional riding treks common in the area. The Waimarino Horses, a local breed cherished for their calm temperaments and deep regional ties, offer a rare chance to slow down and enjoy nature at a tactile level.

Tūrangi itself is a gateway to Lake Taupō, the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand, and nestled within reach of Tongariro National Park’s volcanic peaks. While the region is famed for adrenaline-pumping hikes and water sports, Korohe’s Photoshoot experience provides a creative, reflective pause in the landscape’s wild energy. The team at Korohe Horse Treks brings knowledgeable, friendly guidance that makes guests feel at ease—whether it’s your first time handling horses or capturing outdoor portraits.

Dress for comfort and footwear that protects; you'll be hands-on in a natural, unfiltered environment. Bring your camera or smartphone and expect to leave with memories etched in both image and feeling. For travelers looking to add a distinctive, heartwarming chapter to their New Zealand trip, this photoshoot balances wildlife connection and artistic expression like no other.
