Step off your Alaska cruise in Haines and meet your professional photography guide for a 4-hour adventure into the scenic Chilkat Valley for prime wildife and landscape photography. Your private photography guide will select their favorite locations for the best vantage points, lighting and views of different subjects and provide you with ample time to set up the best shots. Let the beauty of Haines combined with the vast variety of Alaskan wildlife and birds, from bald eagles to brown bears, become the subjects of stunning photography – taken by you.
Depending on the lighting and weather, different locations in the Chilkat Valley offer a variety of landscape and wildlife photography options. This area along the Chilkoot River includes the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, home to vast numbers of bald eagles feasting on the river’s plentiful salmon runs. Brown bears are similarly drawn to feed in this area and other wildlife and birds habitat here as well. Let your photography guide know your top priorities for customizing your day tour’s itinerary.
Your day is all about flexibility, fun, and learning versus adherence to a rigid schedule. While a simple point-and-shoot camera or smartphone camera will technically work, guests are encouraged to bring traditional photography gear to capture the best high-resolution shots. A boxed lunch is included on your tour so you may eat whenever you choose to while you focus on getting that perfect shot.
