Our guide was Pat. He was very knowledgeable. He set up his own camera so we could see the Eagles. He was helpful to us elderly getting in and out of the van. I recommend this excursion and recommend Pat as your guide.

Skagway was absolutely incredible, and we had the best local tour guide, Nikki to show us around and to take some amazing photos. Nikki after learning that we forgot our passports (Don't forget..lol), told us not to worry at all and that she promised to still make our trip memorable. She did just that! We hit many sights in Skagway and she shared historical facts about the city which was great. On our trip, we photographed wildlife and saw incredible views--from a large waterfall, bear cave, mountains and a great view of glaciers. She also provided a lot of geological information about the landscape. 10 out of 10 with Nikki! Thank you so much. -Rick & Brandy

We had a fantastic photography tour starting in Skagway and working up north to the Yukon. The weather seemed to change with every mile, sometimes overcast, sometimes raining, sometimes snowy, and sometimes sunny. With each of the weather conditions, the amazing mountains presented different, but breathtaking, views. We were able to photograph Dall sheep high up on a mountain (be sure to have a long lens) and a brown bear (close to the van). Our guide, Pat, was very knowledgeable about the area, its geography and history, the animals, and the flora. He even answered our questions about the practical aspects of bringing our travel trailer to Alaska next year.

It was a foggy day so we didn’t try the White pass. Christine was fabulous filling us in on local history as we traveled to different sites. The iPhone photo trick she showed us at the waterfall was worth the price of the excursion! We got some great photos and definitely gained a respect for the miners who carried their packs up the golden stairway. I highly recommend this tour!

I went on the photography tour in Skagway through an excursion from Princess Cruise Lines. Dale Cunning was our guide/photographer for the day. Even though it was a rainy day, the excursion was great. I saw some great scenery and Dale was very helpful with tips and tricks on using the camera and phone to capture some stunning shots. Looking forward to the excursion on my next trip to Skagway.

This excursion was offered by Holland America when our ship visited Skagway and was the best excursion of our entire trip. Our guide was Dale Cunning and he was knowledgable, and fun to be with. The van was newer and nice and the locations Dale took us to were spectacular. Thanks Dale!

I went on a photo excursion during my cruise to Alaska on Princess Cruise Lines. My guide was Dale and there were 7 of us. He was absolutely fabulous and we all agreed this was the best excursion on our trip. It was a wonderful morning despite the rain.

I took this photo tour after landing with the ms Noordam cruise ship. We went to the other side of the Skagway fjord to the old Dyea site. Our guide, Dale, knew where the bald eagles hung out and we lucked out with two sitting up in a tree as we arrived. And then we saw two more over in the river and another two - all three breeding pairs in the area. Absolutely incredible photos! And the rest of the tour wasn't inconsequential - the Golden Staircase entrance to the Chillcoot Trail and a visit to the old town of Dyea. A great afternoon and great photos to remember it by.

If I could give Dale more than 5 stars I would. Dale went above and beyond for our group. He took us places at times he knew the sun would be in the perfect position and helped with and questions I had. He showed me a few things I didn’t know how to do. I would do this again in a heartbeat if I knew I was going with Dale!!
