Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Can not recommend Blue Tongue tours more highly! Martial took myself and my husband on a private 4 day photography tour of the south west region. From start to finish the whole trip was amazing! So many photo shoots packed in each day, beautiful accommodation, great food, and wonderful company. Martial is very easy to get along with and super keen to make sure you get everything you want out of his tour. I learned more in 4 days with Martial than I have ever learned through any course I had done. If you want to take stunning images of beautiful places then this is the tour for you! Thanks Martial so much for giving me the confidence to go out and make more beautiful images worthy of sharing

I recently did the Pinnacles Twilight, Night & Stars Photography Tour and WOW...WOW....WOW....what a wonderful day!
Everything went wrong with my camera and memory cards but Martial was just so calm and didn't even worry about it. We managed to get some absolutely photos.. thanks to Martial's perseverance.

Martial is an excellent teacher and really imparted his knowledge and experience. I cannot recommend his photographic tours more highly. I have images that I never thought I could capture. A wonderful experience and will do again!

Martial is a wonderful host, his experience as a professional is without equal. My wife and I have been on several trips with Martial and we have enjoyed each trip and learned so much about our camera, how to use it, and where to take amazing photos from.
If you want to spend some time with a professional photographer and enjoy every minute of it, then we would recommend you book a trip with Martial.

Just back from a second, wonderful photo tour with Martial Fatton of Blue Tongue Photo Tours. Over 17 days, we ticked off the highlights of south west WA, starting in Margaret River where Martial had organised a couple of winery visits, canoeing on the Margaret River and sections of the Cape to Cape hike. From there we visited Pemberton, The Stirling Range, Albany, Fitzgerald River National Park, Esperance and Lucky Bay before heading inland to Wave Rock and New Norcia, finishing with a night shoot at the Pinnacles on the way back to Perth.
With Martial's detailed knowledge of the locations, we were always in the right place at the right time, photographing everything from landscapes to architecture, the lunar eclipse, the Milky Way, wildlife, shoes hung on a fence, birds, wild flowers and old trucks. Martial is a fantastic photographer and a great teacher who willingly shared his knowledge of all things photography, including some great post-processing tips.
I highly recommend a tour with Martial - such an awesome way to see the best of Western Australia with endless photo opportunities and expert tuition. I will be back!

Less than two months ago my son and I headed off on what was to be the most fantastic photography trip with Martial Fatton of Blue Tongue Photography Tours. Martial is an extremely experienced tour guide, knowledgeable in photography practice and theory, he took us to beyond the normal tourist trail to some extraordinary places. From Newman back to Perth over a two week period we saw an Australia the average traveller/photographer doesn’t get to visit.
My son (30) was the rookie photographer who had never taken his camera off it’s Ai setting, while mine was not exactly up to spec. Nevertheless Martial was extremely patient, guiding us to use our equipment to achieve magical photos. From the moment we picked up our cameras we were in Manual mode. His ‘one on one’ attention when needed and ability to stand back made for a true learning experience.
Two Kiwis we throughly enjoyed WA’s remote National parks, driving kilometres of red dust roads through the outback, loved the authentic experience of camping in really remote stations or campgrounds. We climbed down into five of the gorges in Karijini, exploring their twists and turns. From Astro in the evenings or up early enough for the pre-dawn light in the mornings, Martial knew where to go and when to see such beauty in Australia’s landscapes.
The tour didn’t only include the outback, travelling west from Karijini we arrived in Exmouth to begin the journey south to Perth. At Francis Peron National Park we saw Blue Fairy terns, rescued a Thorny Devil from the road which was the “icing on the cake” to the huge variety of wildlife we saw. Martial would stop and do everything he could to ensure we were able to photograph the interesting - often just glimpsed - such as the huge black eagles. Highlights included surfers at the reef in Kalbarri, and the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park. Too many to list.
We both highly recommend Martial Fatton of Blue Tongue Photography tours and would travel with him on another tour at any time

A fantastic trip to the south of Western Australia, with extraordinary photo opportunities. Martial knows not only which locations to visit to get the best shots, but also offers such a widely different perspective on ordinary landscapes and objects that the images are brought to life. Highly recommended tours. Thank you Martial!

Just returned from a wonderful 12-day tour with Martial - Karijini, Exmouth, Shark Bay, Kalbarri, the Pinnacles etc... it was all fantastic. Martial's knowledge of photography and the destinations is exceptional and his willingness (and patience) in sharing that knowledge was a highlight. Perhaps the best thing was that - due to Martial's first-hand experience - we were able to access numerous remote and difficult-to-access sites at the right time of day for shooting - it would have been almost impossible to manage that by ourselves. Highly recommended: we are already planning our next trip! Thank you Martial!

A truly memorable 12 days with Martial in Karijini, Shark Bay, Kalbarri and the Pinnacles. A helpful and informative instructor, Martial has the patience of a saint! His local knowledge of all locations we visited was invaluable in ensuring we were where we needed to be and his willingness to share his expertise as an accomplished photographer was key to a wonderful learning experience. He also cooked a mean piece of fish! For anyone interested in photography - at ay level - a photo tour with Blue Tongue Photo Tours is a fantastic way to experience Western Australia. I can't wait to come back :)
