Private Everglades National Park Photography, Birding and Wildlife Safari

Overview

Whether you are an amateur or a professional, this Private Photo Safari is the best way to photograph Everglades National Park’s wildlife. A very stable, flat-decked power boat is your shooting platform. Using an electric trolling motor, your guide will position you for the best shots. Unlike a shared tour, on a private tour, you and your shots are our only concern.

When shooting outdoors, the lighting is extremely important. Lighting is best in the mornings and late afternoons. As such, on this private tour, we depart before sunrise in the morning to be in position as soon as there is enough light to shoot. In the evening, we return after sunset. Since sunrise and sunset times vary throughout the year, we will contact you prior to your tour to arrange the actual meet time.

Our guides are on the water every day, year-round and have a good idea of the wildlife patterns. They can get you in position while the lighting is good.

What To Expect

Everglades National Park

Most of the 1.5 million acres in the Everglades National Park are flooded and essentially out of reach for average photographers and birders. But, not on this private experience. This Photo Safari opens up the vastness of the the Everglades. Lighting conditions are important early mornings and late afternoons are best. On the morning tours, we depart before sunrise and on the afternoon tours we are back after sunset. Many photographers enjoy shooting while standing in the water or on a remote sand beach. We encourage our guests to stay overnight locally as we arrive back at dark on the afternoon tours and leave at dawn in the mornings.

Chokoloskee Bay

All private photography boat tours are customized based on your desires, the season, the wildlife and the weather. A flat-decked boat with room for a tripod is your platform. Your guide will position the boat as your require for the best shots for you and one guest.

We started our adventure at 6:45 am. The guide was on time and very helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the ECO System and the wildlife. He knew where there were birds, racoon, & etc. He was able to guide us to the locations to get good photographs. There were amazing views of birds in flight. We watched a Great Blue Heron catch and eat a large fish. We encountered dolphins who were playing and leaping. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend it. It is a great way to experience the Everglades.

Easy to work with these folks. Everything was on time and our captain/guide was very knowledgeable, taking us to locations to get great images. He provided insight into the birds we were observing as well as historical information about the area. Also gave us great recommendations on other things to do. Since it was just my husband and I, there were no issues with social distances or face masks.
