My tour guide Jody arrived promptly at my hotel for pickup. In approximately four hours we visited four locations that provided some great photo opportunities. Jody offers help with camera settings to aid in photo taking. On the cool rainy evening of my tour hot drinks and snacks were available. Jody sharing her knowledge of Alaskan facts and history was a bonus. She has a great personality and I was very satisfied with my photo tour experience. I highly recommend this tour company. Thanks, Les D.

Loved this tour, we just didn't get to see many animals. We did see an eagle and a female moose up close

My husband and I spent an informative and enjoyable evening with our guide, Harry Walker. The first conversation we had with Harry was what we wanted from our time with him. He went above and beyond to meet our needs. As an accomplished photographer, he was able to help us understand the workings of our cameras and gave us valuable advice on how to achieve the most from our picture taking. He took us to several locations in the area in order to practice our skills. After returning home, we were able to use what we learned during our Photo Safari with Henry to continue to hone our skills. Thank you!
