Excursion Overview

See Ketchikan through a different lens!

As part of a small group (maximum of 9), spend 3 hours in the Ketchikan area, traveling with your Ketchikan Photo Safari guide who shares great insight and knowledge. You will visit multiple sights to be given the best possible opportunities to use your photographic equipment to achieve iconic photos of the Ketchikan area "off the tourist-beaten path."

Flowers, totems, rainforests, beaches, boats, mountains, creeks, waterfalls, and the chance of wildlife encounters entice us to discover them all. Enjoy narration of local culture, art, history, commerce, and lifestyle between stops, and gain helpful tips and techniques on your cell phone, point-and-shoot, or DSLR camera.

Ketchikan Photo Safari welcomes the novice to the professional. You can expect 7-8 separate photo sites. Enjoy complimentary snacks of gourmet cookies and locally brewed coffee, and bottled water. This is an experience that will be time well invested in Ketchikan, Alaska.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Nicole, was fantastic. We learned a lot of new tricks with our iPhone cameras. More importantly, we saw some really scenic and historic sites that were off the beaten path, and we learned about the history of the town and surrounding areas. I highly recommend this tour.

I can not recommend this excursion enough. Not only did we visit beautiful spots around Ketchikan and learn about the area, but I learned great photo techniques that I did not realize were available on my IPhone. My husband brought a camera and he got some fabulous photos as well.

Well done with a small group tour in Ketchikan! Some good techniques for better picture taking - you do not have to be a pro. Wish we had an extra hour.
