Had great time touring with Pat Kennedy. He took us to some beautiful photography locations and attempted to put us on some wildlife. Also showed us some neat tips for using the iPhone and had great advice about settings on DSLRs for taking photos of Northern Lights (future trip). He had a pretty big group and did a good job helping a wide range of photo skills.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our private photography tour in Haines. The scenery was beautiful and our guide, Karla, did a great job telling us about the area and providing us with excellent photo opportunities. We saw bald eagles, trumpeter swans with their babies, a seal, and a bear! Yea! Thank you, Karla, for your excellent suggestions and a great day in Haines!

My husband and I took the Skagway in focus Photography Tour August 6, 2024, and Pat was our guide. We got so lucky to have such a beautiful clear day in Skagway. Pat was a plethora of information and we learned so much from him about Alaska, Skagway, Haines, the Klondike, etc. He was very personable and fun and told us of the exploring he has done while in Alaska. He asked us what we wanted to see and took us to photograph bald eagles, glaciers, waterfalls. Pat drove us up the Klondike summit just over the Canadian border where we were able to photograph the Fraser area and its beautiful mountains, rivers, and lakes. We highly recommend this excursion. Thank you Pat for making our day in Skagway so amazing.

Pat is the best tour guide ever! He went above and beyond to try to find everything we were hoping to see. Then he helped us get back to our ship.

Brolin took us through the fog up the Klondike Highway past Fraser to the Loggers Cabin. We had numerous stops and while underway Brolin was a fountain of information. We photographed wild flowers, the White Pass train, Glacier Lake and much more. And we saw a bear. Twice.
