Photo Tours and workshops with Australian Photographer Adam Monk

The coastline and waterfalls of the North East Kimberley are some of the most  stunning and untouched wilderness regions left in the world, the only way to see them is to walk for weeks through unchartered terrain, or  go on a luxury photo cruise…

8 Days in the remote far North Kimberley…

Just 14 guests, 8 days in the remote North East Kimberley on the luxury catamaran “The Great Escape”, two professional photographers to help you every step of the way.  Five star meals all freshly prepared by the onboard chef and there is even a helicopter onboard for the duration (all meals are included, but the Heli flights are extra…).
This is a dedicated photography cruise, with a custom made itinerary to put you in the best spots in the best light.   Read the rest of this entry »

That’s it, we now have a full compliment for East Greenland Sailing Photo adventure for 2017.  In another 3 weeks I’ll be headed off  for the Greenland and Iceland Photo Tours, I can’t wait!  After Iceland I’ll be headed to North Scotland to do some exploring for a possible photo tour there for 2019. It’s a place I have wanted to go for years, I may even look up a few long lost relatives from the highland clan McMullen while I am there.

This year, for the first time since 2012 I am not taking a photo tour to Bhutan.  It’s not that I am sick of Bhutan,  quite the contrary, I enjoy Bhutan more each time I go.  It was the roads…  The extensive road works from one end of the country to the other were making the driving somewhat unpleasant.  The good news is that the road project is well underway and is due to be completed by the end of this year.

The other good news is that I am running another 15 day photo tour to Bhutan for 2018.  As if that were not enough, I am also taking along special guest photographer Paul Hoelen as an additional Photo Guide.  Paul is a highly acclaimed and very talented professional photographer residing in Tasmania.  He has many years of experience guiding tours and teaching photography skills, and he is a lot of fun to hang out with.  If you would like to read more about Paul and the plan for the 2018 Bhutan Photo Tour click HERE>>

My Greenland photo sailing adventure for this year was completely booked out, but now I have two last minute spots available for that crazy, what the heck, impulse buy.  You know you want to, check it out HERE>>

After having it on my “Must Visit” list for years I finally spent 6 weeks travelling around in Tasmania in January/February this year.  On the one hand it was worth the wait, but on the other I kept thinking “Why did I wait so long?”  Tasmania is absolutely incredible, actually that is understating it…

Just one day later and my 12 day Ultimate Iceland Highlands Photo Tour for 2017 is fully booked.  If you would like to join the waiting list, or express an interest for future tours send me an email am@adammonk.com

I have just one spot remaining for my 12 day Ultimate Iceland Highlands Photo Tour for 2017.  If you have been sitting on the fence thinking about coming along, sit no longer, there is only one place left.  The tour begins and ends in Reykjavik Iceland, and is fully comprehensive with no hidden extras.  Dates for Iceland are August 26th – September 7th 2017, which follows on directly from my  8 dayGreenland Sailing adventure.  Click the link above to see all the details.

Greenland Sailing Photo Adventure.

I still have a couple of places on my 8 day Greenland Sailing Photo Adventure, and the best thing is that you can do both the Iceland Tour and the Greenland tour together.  You even get a discount for going on both.  My Greenland sailing  tour also leaves from Reykjavik in Iceland, where we have a charter flight to East Greenland to board our ship, the beautiful Donna Wood, a lovingly restored 100 year old Schooner.  We spend 8 days sailing around in the incredible Scoresby Sound, the biggest Fjord system in the world, seeing and photographing some of the most spectacular landscape on Earth before flying back to Reykjavik in Iceland again just in time to begin the 12 Ultimate Iceland Highlands tour.  Scoresby Sound in East Greenland is very calm, so seasickness is not an issue.  We fly to Greenland, so there are no open ocean crossing to be made by boat and we maximise our time in Scoresby Sound.  Click the link above to see all the details.

Dates are out for my Bhutan Photo Tour for 2018.  I’m still building the web page with all the details and the full itinerary, but all the planning is done the itinerary is written and the hotels are reserved.

15 days in Bhutan.

This tour will follow my tried and tested plan of 15 days in Bhutan, a small group travelling in cars (not a bus) with only two participants, a local driver and a guide per car.

2 Cultural Festivals.

I base the itinerary of the tour around the local cultural festivals, which are a major highlight of the tours.  This year the timing is finally right for me to include two festivals I have been wanting to attend for years, but I’ll tell you more about that later.

Dates for my next Bhutan Photo Tour are…  4 – 19 November 2018.

Full details and itinerary will be out soon, if you would like to be kept up to date you can email me tours@adammonk.com or you can just keep an eye on the blog.

Another image from the Southern Highlands of Iceland with a tiny person in the landscape.  This one is very tiny, but wearing a bright red jacket, once you notice it the sheer scale of the landscape snaps into perspective.  This image translates better into a substantial sized print where the person is a little more visible, but thats a little hard to show on the internet.

Iceland Highlands Adventure update.

My Iceland Photo tour 2017 was officially fully booked, and that’s what I was writing in this blog post.  As of last night though, I have 3 places that have become available due to cancellations.  So if you were considering coming with me to Iceland this year you were almost too late, but now you have another chance.  You can read all about the Iceland Highlands Adventure for this year right HERE>>

Greenland Sailing Photo Tour.

I still have a 4 places left for my Greenland  Sailing Photo Adventure Tour.  8 days of awesome iceberg scenery sailing around Scoresby Sound on our 100 year old classic Schooner.  Fully refurbished with all the modern conveniences of course.
