We are proud to offer a level and quality of photographic instruction to our guests not found in other Anchorage-based tour companies. We have always extended that instruction to a deeper level with our multi-day photo excursions, with both classroom and field instruction.

But we want our multi-day trips to be more than just photo workshops. We want them to be in-depth experiences in Alaska. For that reason, we have created this new brand of Experience Alaska for our multi-day trips.

When you join us for an Experience Alaska trip, you are getting more than a photo trip to a destination filled with amazing scenery or unparalleled wildlife opportunities. You are also experiencing a part of Alaska. Each trip will include a component that exposes you to Alaska history, Alaska culture, or inspiring or informational Alaskans. Look in the excursion description to see what element of Alaska you will experience with each trip.
