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.

I totally enjoyed this excursion. Angela was our photographer. We had a small group of 5 (which was perfect). She taught us so many amazing things to do with our DSLR cameras and android phone camera. I was able shoot with both of them. We went to many different sites to take pictures. I am a beginner with photography. I would recommend this excursion. Thank you so much Angela.

This was excellent with the extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We boarded the city bus by mistake. They arranged to pick us up from the bus terminal in town before starting the tour. Served complimentary coffee and delicious cookies. Excellent tour!

Angela & Tori were fantastic. They picked me up at the Ward Cove station. I was the only person signed up for that slot and they asked what I was most interested in and took me out for the perfect photo safari of Ketchikan. They were extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot. This was an experience I ll never forget. Thank you!!

Awesome tour and the guide was excellent. He took us to all the "out of the way" spots to get the best photos. He was very knowlegable about the area, history and photography. Too bad it was raining the whole trip, but we made the most of it.
