Small Group Chilkat Photography Tour from Skagway

Step off the beaten path and make the most of your time in port by trading the crowds of Skagway for the peaceful beauty of Haines and the Chilkat Valley-one of Alaska's most photogenic destinations. Perfectly timed for cruise ship schedules, this small-group photo tour is a memorable and enriching way to experience Alaska's landscapes and wildlife.

Your adventure begins with a scenic, high-speed catamaran ride through Lynn Canal, one of North America's longest fjords. Glide past sheer cliffs and cascading waterfalls as you make your way to the quiet and charming town of Haines.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your friendly local guide, a professional photographer, who will take you on a 4-hour journey through some of the area's most stunning and carefully scouted locations. You'll travel in a comfortable vehicle with a maximum of 10 guests, ensuring a relaxed and personalized experience.

Designed for photographers of all levels, this tour welcomes everyone from seasoned pros with DSLRs to smartphone shooters. Your guide will provide helpful tips on lighting, composition, and capturing the perfect shot, while also pointing out local wildlife and hidden gems along the way. Bald eagles are commonly seen, and beginning in August, there's a chance to spot brown bears along the salmon-rich Chilkoot River.

Whether you're hoping to capture wildlife, panoramic mountain views, or the essence of small-town Alaska, this tour is a great way to enhance your visit and take home more than just memories-bring back the photos to prove it.

Please Note: This tour is photography-focused and led by a professional local photographer. Participants must bring their own camera or smartphone. No prior photography experience is required. Wildlife sightings are possible but not guaranteed.
