Private, Interest‑Led Sessions — Dawn, Dusk and Night
Each three‑day itinerary is built around the guest’s photographic interests: sessions can focus on sunrise and sunset light, night‑sky work (weather permitting) and subject‑specific shoots such as wildlife, macro or waterfalls, with activities tailored to your priorities.
Bruny Island: Birdhide Access or Cruise‑Based Landscapes
Bruny Island is offered two ways — a birder’s option based at Inala Bruny with private access to hides and platforms for birds and woodland species, or a landscape and seascape option based at Hotel Bruny that includes the Bruny Island Cruise; both focus on strong sunrise, sunset and astro opportunities.
Tasmania’s Range — From Freycinet Vistas to Tarkine Coasts
The three‑day private format is available across multiple regions — Freycinet’s Wineglass Bay and Cape Tourville, Cradle Mountain’s trails and Dove Lake sunrises, the Bay of Fires coastline, Mount Field’s waterfalls and the remote Tarkine coast — offering concentrated access to each region’s signature scenes.

Accommodations and daily plans vary by region, with breakfasts generally included and activities arranged around the guest’s photographic goals.
