About the event
Photograph the world's largest animals! Your co-hosts, Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Simon Pierce and ocean conservation photographer Fiona Wardle, will be leading this photography workshop onboard the Whale Watch Kaikoura vessel.
Kaikoura is a global marine biodiversity hotspot, and one of the best places in the world to see and photograph sperm whales, the world's largest predator. We'll be searching for them and other marine mammal species, and there are normally plenty of seabirds too.
Fiona and Simon will be on hand to provide photography advice and interpretation. All welcome, including non-photographers that are interested in viewing the whales.
For more information about the operator, see Whale Watch Kaikoura.
This event is part of our Kaikoura Ocean Wildlife Weekend Extravaganza – make a day of it, and join us for the Peninsula photo walk after this trip (hopefully some nice fur seal sightings). We'll also have a very special extended albatross photo trip on Sunday morning.
