Alaska Photography Tour

Help us celebrate our 23rd tour to beautiful Alaska! This is an exclusive WPA small group land-based expedition for just 4-6 adventurers. This photo adventure is led by renowned creative photographer Pearce Leal. Pearce’s knowledge and experience will enhance your journey, providing valuable insights and guidance to help you capture stunning images. Is it all about bears? No, but the bear encounters are legendary, with past adventurers raving about their experiences for years. You can expect iconic wilderness scenes of Alaska, along with unique bear encounters that include cubs, salmon fishing, as well as breathtaking views of nature ranging from forests to bald eagles. The glacier and blue ice experiences on flat waters are world-class! Every day is different, and both Pearce and our local expert guides will work hard to provide you with the very best of Alaska.
