Photography Tours

A trip to Alaska is all about building the memories of a lifetime — and there's no better way to immortalize those memories than taking your own photographs. Although you can take your camera on almost any Alaska tour and walk away with amazing shots, avid and novice photographers may prefer to book a photography tour. These tours are led by professional photographers who double as naturalists, so you'll get an education about local flora, fauna, geology, and history at the same time you're searching for wildlife or the perfect landscape shot. Photography guides will take you to their top spots for viewing wildlife, scenery, sunsets, and the northern lights and provide tips and guidance for those interested in learning some new skills. 

Photography tours are available for all experience levels – weather you want to learn how to take better photos with your smart phone, you’re new to photography and looking to learn some basic skills, or you’re an avid photographer looking to join a guided overnight trek to some of the best places for photography in Alaska. Tour durations range from a couple hour walking tour to multi-day backcountry trips in Alaska’s wilderness areas to custom tours.

Some photography tours are focused on a specific subject, like bear viewing, sunsets, or bird photography, while others take you to a variety of scenic spots to capture diverse wildlife and scenery. Northern lights photography tours are especially helpful for those who are new to aurora photography, as experienced guides will take you to the best viewing spots with low ambient light and provide tips on how to capture the best aurora photos.
