Alaska

Welcome to a unique wild Alaska photo tour! In the heart of coastal Katmai we are organizing a very special photo expedition to photograph the Grizzly bears and other wildlife. In September the shallow rivers on the Alaskan coast are filled with salmon running up to spawn, and the bears follow. At this time of the year, they are relaxed and easy to photograph. There is no hunting in the area, so the animals here are easier to get close to.

We have chartered a small expedition ship for 8 days along the coast of Katmai. The main target is the Grizzly bears, but we will also photograph other land mammals, sea otters, whales, seals, seabirds and great landscapes.

The ship will act as our base and mode of transportation but most of our photography will be done from our inflatables or during landings. We will try to land as often as possible to make the best of the salmon runs where bears and other wildlife are used to people and will let us get close for our images.

See some of the opportunities from this area in the gallery below with images from guides and guests from previous trips. See also the official Nikon D5 beta test Inspired, filmed in September 2015 with WildPhoto guide Ole J Liodden.
