We don’t often do a group tour but this one was outstanding.. the whole process was well organised from the pickup to drop off. The actual cruise took us the length of the river from dam to dam and the commentary from Lucas was very informative. He was obviously very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna. The cruise had hints of the shot over - boats are purpose built and he knew the river well. Stopped frequently to explain facts about the area and even served up the afternoon tea and got a boatload of travellers back in time for spectacular sunset shots Would highly recommend this tour even for independent travellers..

Amazing trip! Fabulous guide and host too. The accommodation was great. Food always beautifully prepared. We learned such a lot during the five days and saw the most incredible scenery. The helicopter trip over the Bungle Bungles, (not included) was well worth the money!

What an amazing tour. Wildflowers and orchids everywhere - managed to get shots that were sharp - even of the smallest thanks to Anna-Mair. Locations were awesome - no crowds even on a long weekend ( they sure know the best locations) . Pinnacles were amazing at the golden hour and we were treated to a spectacular sunset with the Pinnacles in the foreground. A bbq dinner was followed by Astro - I finally got a shot of the Milky Way! A truly great day. Can recommend this tour and Capture the Light highly enough. Anna- Mair is a fantastic teacher. She is patient, easy to learn from and has a great knowledge of photography . I use a Panasonic and my partner a Nikon but this was no problem as she clearly know the cameras well and how to get the best shots. Thank you for an amazing tour. Would recommend them to anyone visiting Western Australia
