Local Connections: Ketchikan Photo Safari with Nature Photographer

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Capture the jaw-dropping beauty of Alaska on this small-group photography excursion. Designed for the novice, as well as the professional, the itinerary is personalized and kept flexible in order to allow for the unexpected events that often become the highlights of the experience. Led by a local photographer, your guide will share area history, facts and stories as you travel from six to eight different sites in a Ford transit passenger van through town and into the wild. Once you meet your photographer guide, you'll go off the beaten path and focus on taking compelling, personal images. Then, get your camera poised for a dazzling panorama of earth, sea and sky; some of the sites you'll shoot include the rainforest, flowers, totem poles, beach, and mountains, creeks, waterfalls, and the chance of wildlife encounters. Enjoy hot coffee and a gourmet cookie while photographing the boats at historic Bar Harbor.
