The Focus on Haines Private Tour is tailored to my guests' interests and will offer you the opportunity to see the best Alaska has to offer.away from the ships & shops. Whether you are a photographer or just want to get out into the quiet corners of America’s last frontier, you will find Haines to be the Alaska you came to experience.

At each stop I share the stories of cultural and natural history that makes each location special.

If your interest is photography, I strive to cover the basics of your camera's technical functions. I offer instruction how and when to use the camera's various modes to optimize the photograph you would like to save as a real keeper. Additionally, I offer tips to optimize your opportunities for successful wildlife photography. I can discuss the best composition considerations when framing your shots so you come home with an award-winning photograph.

When our cruise itinerary changed from Skagway to Haines we weren’t sure what to do for our day at port, but we are very glad we found Tom from all the great reviews. He obviously knows the area well including the best places to spot wildlife. His photography tips were great. He is easy going and friendly. We highly recommend taking a tour with him!

We spent our first day in Haines with Tom Ganner and it was a delight. I am an amateur photographer with good Canon camera bodies and lenses. His pre tour questionnaire prompted me to assess my knowledge and skills and identify where I wanted to improve. With that information Tom guided me to be more comfortable using the camera's manual settings to capture better images. His wildlife photos are spectacular and something to aspire to. The bonus of the tour was his historical and local knowledge of the sites he took us to photograph. Try to do this worthwhile tour early in your trip so you can practice your new skills while still in Haines.

We recently took a photography tour with Tom in Haines, and we had an absolutely amazing time! Tom is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced photographer. He was able to teach us so much about photography, from the basics of composition to more advanced techniques like long exposure of a waterfall and photographing eagles. We visited some of the most beautiful places in Haines, and Tom setup incredible shots for us. We learned so much on this tour, and came away with some amazing photos. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in improving their photography skills. Here are some specific things that we loved about the tour: The small group size. This meant that we got a lot of personalized attention from Tom, and we were able to ask him as many questions as we wanted. The variety of locations. We visited a wide variety of landscapes, so we got to practice shooting in different conditions. The post-processing suggestions. Tom gave us a few post-processing tips, and showed us how to use snapseed. We are having a great time processing our Alaska photos. We were so fortunate that Tom was available. We had an amazing experience, learned a lot, made some great photos, and had a lot of fun. We would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in improving their photography skills or just visiting beautiful nature sites without the large crowds of a cruise excursion.
