The guide was actually fine and knowledgeable but the inordinate amount of time spent teaching basics of operating a DSLR to a noob group was off putting. Also we covered only three locations and only one of them was really worth taking any quality pictures. Would not recommend for slightly advanced photographers or those looking for quick tour of majestic vistas.

We are sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations. We do not screen participants prior to our excursions which means we can have mixed experience levels in the group and our guides work hard to offer individualized feedback to meet each guest at their level. Information that may have seemed basic for you, may have been very helpful for someone else. For future reference, we do offer custom tours and often work with highly skilled and professional photographers who benefit a lot from their time with us. We wish you all the best in your future adventures with photography.

I know NOTHING about photography, don't like to hike and only use my cell phone camera. This activity was an education, a revelation and I highly recommend it. The guide knows all the best spots and will help you get all the best shots.

This should be the #2 area thing to do in the Denali area after seeing the park. I saw more things on their tours than the 7.5 hour NPS tour. I did two excursions - the Photo Excursion with Terry and the Moose Blind with Todd. I wish i could give them 10 stars. This was the very best of my Denali trip. I arrived Memorial weekend where pandemic rules are still in effect. Terry met me in the evening at McKinley Chalet and off we went in search of reflections and critter. Outside the park there are an incredible number of vistas and ponds to get mountain reflections. We saw moose a couple of times, a porcupine (which looked like a pile of hay moving), ducks, and swans. As we were headed back we spotted more moose and a mamma with her two recently born calves. 2 days later i had a 5am pickup with Todd. Unfortunately it was raining so we did a drive looking for moose and others. We spotted several moose and a caribou. A grizzly came out on the dirt road and ran ahead of us for at least a half mile. What a treat, especially since i didnt see bears inside the park. Both men are very enjoyable to chat with, incredibly informative about the area and photography, and really want their customers to have a great time. I am not home yet...so I've attached a phone picture.
