Rachel Bigsby, a multi-award winning ambassador for Nikon, will hold wildlife photography workshops on two Subantarctic Islands voyages for Heritage Expeditions next year.

Bigsby’s workshops will be limited to just eight passengers on each voyage aboard the company’s flagship Heritage Adventurer.

Get-together dinner

The first, ‘Birding Down Under,’ starts with a get-together dinner and overnight in Queenstown on December 6, 2025.

The next afternoon passengers transfer to the Port of Bluff for embarkation.

The voyage takes in The Snares, Enderby Island, Macquarie Island, the Campbell Islands, the Antipodes Islands and Bounty Islands, discovered by Capt. Bligh months before the infamous mutiny.

Then it is on to South East Island and the Chatham Islands before returning to Bluff on December 22 and a complimentary coach transfer to either Invercargill or Queenstown.

During the voyage an abundance of wildlife, including an incredible assortment of birds, may be encountered.

Remote and wild

Bigsby’s second voyage, ‘Beyond Fiordland,’ also commences with a get-together dinner in Queenstown on December 21, 2025 and embarkation at Bluff the following day.

It visits some of New Zealand’s wildest islands, including The Snares, Stewart Island and Campbell Island, New Zealand’s southernmost Subantarctic territory.

Disembarkation is at Bluff on January 1, 2026 with transfers to Invercargill or Queenstown.
