Join us on an instructional photo tour and workshop to Alaska, the last frontier. Diverse landscapes and beautiful wildlife make it a visually stunning place. The experience includes the sheer wonder of what hides around the corner and over the next ridge.
We will travel by land, helicopter, and sea to photograph. It is incredibly photogenic with its coastal fjords, glaciers, mountains, forests and world famous wildlife photography. It is a photographer’s paradise. This trip has four separate boat tours. The small boat will allow us to get closer to the wildlife. Bigger boat can’t approach all wildlife closely or visit secluded coves.
Though, it is little known outside Alaska, Chugach is a wild and pristine wilderness. It is very rich in wildlife. The park’s alpine tundra, forested valley bottoms, and coastal waters are inhibited by 50 species of mammals.
Seward:
Sandwiched between Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Mountains, Seward is one of Alaska’s oldest and most scenic communities. This tiny village is a seaside paradise with its beautiful harbor, quaint shops, great ocean view restaurants and galleries.
Seward is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National the rugged coastal fjords for which it is named and the glaciers. It is an incredible wildlife photography hotspot. Most of the park is only accessible by boat. Hear the thundering booms of calving glaciers.
We will spend some 3 nights in Seward. At this location, we will walk out to a glacier, photograph Eagles, sample the great restaurants on the ocean and take small boats to explore the coastal fjords and oceanic wildlife.
Homer:
We will also visit Homer Alaska. This is an incredibly scenic area loaded with wildlife and beautiful views. We will visit a few nearby areas which include great locations for Bald Eagles, Caribou, and Moose. We also will take 2 another small boat ride to photograph wildlife. Homer has huge colonies of sea otters and abundant eagles.
Wildlife
Wildlife is abundant throughout much of the state’s wilderness. We will visit the world famous Kenai Fjords National Park, Homer, Chugach Mountains and many other areas. We will be taking two or three separate all day boat trips to visit the many glaciers, coastal fjords and abundant wildlife. We will travel with a company that has worked with many professional photographers and videographers. They have worked with the crews of National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel and BBC.
The smaller boats are less obtrusive and allow a closer approach to wildlife. Bigger boats cannot get close to the animals or close to the shore. This means you can get better photos and an experience that is more intimate. As you approach glacier filled pristine waters, you will hear a distant rumbling as a block of ice the size of a house shears off a glacier and impacts the ocean waters. Passing through gorgeous inlets and fjords, and numerous wildlife.
Alaska is rich in Marine Life. We will be close to Sea Otters, Stellar Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, Bald Eagles, Tufted Puffin, Horned Puffin, Murres, Auklets, and Porpoises. Also whales, there are several species in the area. They include Orcas (Killer Whales), Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, Beluga Whales, Moon Jellyfish and other species.
We will photograph the sheer quantity and variety of bird life sets Kenai Fjords apart from other coastal areas. Large colonies of sea birds including Kittiwakes, Cormorants, Gulls, Murres, and Puffins nest on the many spectacular granite ledges. An abundance of plankton and fish start the food chain in motion. Stellar Sea lions slide out on rocks to bask in the sun. Sea Otter float on their back to take a nap, eat, and groom. Whales continue to work the edge of the tidal currents. There will be many opportunities to photograph the abundant wildlife.
New for 2024: We will be adding a glacier helicopter ride where we land and go dog sledding. We also will be visiting a river that will have a lot of bears if the salmon are running.
When: July 9-17, 2024
Note: There is an option to extend this trip to photograph Coastal Grizzly Bears (Brown Bears).
This includes: Hotels (8 nights stay) Single Occupancy
Multiple Boat Rides, Helicopter, Dog Sleeding
Entrance fees.
