The True North Advantage

True North is the perfect platform for expedition photographers regardless of skill level to capture some of Australia’s most spectacular and interesting places with True North’s expansive itineraries which provides myriad of scenic vistas, local connections and diverse landscapes. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime for those just starting out and for those who have already honed intermediate and advanced skill sets.

Photographer’s Paradise

The True North was purpose built as an adventure platform and is designed to access remote wilderness areas via coastal waters and river systems. Activity based itineraries allow guests to visit a wide variety of locations within a condensed timeframe thereby avoiding long periods of downtime that might otherwise be associated with access via land and air. This makes a very attractive option for professional and specialist photographers who seek exclusive access. Many leading (and emerging) photographers and videographers have travelled abroad True North to remote areas in Australia and secured imagery that might have otherwise been difficult or even impossible to obtain. To name names, some of the photographers and videographers who have sailed with True North include Ken Duncan, Darren Jew, Art Wolfe, Christian Fletcher, Michael Reichman, Nick Rains, Mark Stothard and Michael Fletcher.
