“Did a recent trip with Phillip and top notch from start to finish, have been on many many trips with him and there is a reason - extremely well planned, top notch subject matter, and lots of fun. Highly recommended.”
David and Wipada Salmanowitz, USA.
“Talk about variety! Phillip Bartlett delivered well beyond his promised itinerary! His familiarity with the areas and knowledge of the local guides and drivers really pampered us all. The accommodations ran the gamut from "best available" to 'drop-dead gorgeous'! His understanding of timing & lighting in the mornings in various spots really enhanced both the photographic experience & visual enjoyment. Humor, food, great stories, new/old friends, what could be better than that! Having travelled with him now, three times, we look forward to the next two, and then some!”
Alan and Phyllis Britten, USA.
“Having previously traveled with Phillip in his native New Zealand and Australia, I was looking forward to my first land tour of Indonesia and I was not disappointed! The trip was highly productive, with multiple, extended encounters with our target Komodo Dragons and Orang-utans, as well as lots of other bird and animal species and breathtaking landscapes. In the field, Phillip was always close by to answer questions and to offer hints and tips on making the most of the photographic opportunites. Logistics were seamless and Phillip's fluent Indonesian meant that everything went smoothly. I am very much looking forward to my next Indonesian adventures in 2025 and beyond. (Reviewed on Google)”

“Phillip is an experienced and thoughtful workshop leader. Having traveled with him previously in Indonesia I can say his trips are well-planned, offering a variety of photographic experiences. His years of experience, and ability to speak the local language, made for a journey that was amazing and intimate. I’m looking forward to when I return to Indonesia with Phillip in 2025.

“I just returned from a wonderful photo trip to Indonesia with professional photographer Phillip Bartlett. This was my second time in Indonesia and third overall trip with Phillip Bartlett. Like every time before, everything was planned with meticulous detail. As always. Phillip worked hard behind the scenes to make sure all the domestic airline trips, hotel accommodations and transportation services ran smoothly. Again this was my third trip with Phillip and definitely won't be my last.”
Dr. Lawrence Korpeck, USA.
“Phillip runs exceptional tours in both New Zealand and Indonesia. I have had the chance to try both countries. Phillip does an excellent job of opening up Indonesia to foreign photographers and tourists. He speaks the language and also understands the culture making it easy for trip participants to experience local culture in an true, non-tourist way. (Excerpt from Google review).”
