Bay of Fires Women's Photography Escape
1-4 October 2025 • A perfect blend of photography and relaxation with luxe glamping comforts
A Snapshot of this Experience
The Bay of Fires is a place of breathtaking natural beauty. Imagine a truly picturesque coastline, where pristine white sandy beaches meet textured, orange-hued rocks and sapphire-blue waters. This striking landscape offers endless inspiration for photography. These three nights in the region, we have two full days to explore the coastal environment and seek unique photo opportunities. From glowing sunrises to magical twilight hues and long exposures to low-light wonders.

The luxe bell tents feature all the comforts you need for a restful night’s sleep and well-appointed shared bathroom facilities are nearby.
