Birds of Prey Photography Cruise

Love bird photography? Well, this exhilarating birds of prey feeding experience is for you. Come and join the adventure to explore and capture the best of the Murray River birdlife.

Talk about adrenaline at times we have up to 12 birds of prey diving and feeding just a few meters away from the boat. This is a bird photography experience of a lifetime.

This practical photography experience will be focused on techniques to improve your in-flight bird photography through the use of creative settings and making the most of light.

Enjoy a 2-hour bird photography cruise with 4-knot cruises, as well as a delicious morning tea and coffee. Participants will have plenty of time to wander the boat and capture the amazing birdlife and river landscapes. During this time John will be available to offer photography tips and individual support to those who need it.
