Tour of the Year

Chosen by cruise line passengers as Juneau's "Shore Excursion of the Season" for 2007.

Step into Alaska with a naturalist photography guide. You will capture Juneau`s top sites and abundant marine wildlife on the same excursion! Your naturalist photography guide will lead you to local photo hot spots while sharing tips and techniques to help enhance your images. Some of the touches that set this tour apart include: A small group size limited to 14, an informative and entertaining multi-media show, a naturalist photo guide that travels with you throughout the tour, and our unique customized safari vessels that offer the best vantage on the water.

You'll enjoy a professional instructional slide show in the vehicle en route to the glacier. Your photo guide works to inspire and educate while you visit the Steep Creek area at the scenic Mendenhall Glacier. Walk an easy permitted trail through the shelter of the forest as you endeavor to get great landscape, nature, and wildlife shots. Our aim is to step away from the crowds and capture the area`s hidden places. The itinerary is personalized and kept flexible in order to allow for those unexpected events that often become the highlights of an Alaskan vacation.

Next you will board our safari vessel for an unforgettable journey through the waterways of Stephens Passage. These boats are designed to get you up close and personal with the environment. The sheltered cabin has large panel windows that open from within to give you unrestricted views while keeping you dry on a rainy day. Padded arm rests fold over the sills to provide a steady platform for photographing marine life and shoreline activity. These are the only crafts of their kind in Southeast Alaska, custom built specifically for marine wildlife photography; there is simply no better vantage available.

On this tour the star of the show is different every day: Wildflowers in bloom, soaring eagles, spawning salmon, light on a foggy channel, migratory birds, bubble feeding humpback whales, curious sea lions, sleek killer whales, and even lumbering black bears are possibilities. Your guide will provide photo coaching while helping you take full advantage of the opportunities each day presents. Come and learn about Juneau's natural wonders and colorful history as you strive to capture that decisive moment in the medium worth a thousand words. Each participant also receives a complementary CD, "Tips and Pics from Juneau's Photo Guides".
