Alaska Photo Treks

Alaska's Premier Photography Tour Experience

You'll capture Alaska's most spectacular moments with Anchorage photography tours from Alaska Photo Treks, the 2023 Visit Anchorage Tour Operator of the Year. Since 2013, this locally-owned company has specialized in small-group Alaska northern lights photography and wildlife adventures led by professional Alaska photographers who know exactly where and when to find the perfect shot.

What sets Alaska Photo Treks apart isn't just their award-winning reputation or TripAdvisor recognition - it's their unique 13-point teaching progression that adapts to every skill level. Whether you're shooting with a smartphone or professional camera, their guides will help you master Alaska's challenging lighting conditions and capture images you'll treasure forever.

Northern Lights and Seasonal Photography Adventures

The company's signature Aurora Borealis tours operate September through April, taking advantage of Alaska's prime northern lights season. You'll travel to carefully selected locations away from city lights, with guides who understand aurora behavior and can position you for the most dramatic shots. Camera equipment rentals are available, so you don't need professional gear to participate.

Day tours span 4-6 hours and cover Alaska's diverse landscapes - from winter wonderlands to summer wildlife photography. The Sunset Photo Safari captures golden hour magic across Anchorage's mountain backdrop, while seasonal tours adapt to Alaska's ever-changing conditions.

Expert Guides and Small Groups

With a maximum of 10 people on day tours (just 6 on multi-day adventures), you'll receive personalized instruction and won't miss photo opportunities due to crowded groups. All guides are Alaska locals with deep knowledge of wildlife behavior and the best vantage points for dramatic compositions.

Multi-day Experience Alaska workshops combine photography instruction with authentic Alaskan activities like dog mushing and brown bear viewing. These intensive programs offer unparalleled access to Alaska's wilderness while building advanced photography skills.

After capturing the perfect shot, celebrate with dinner at Midnight Sun Brewing Company, explore Alaska's cultural heritage at the Anchorage Museum, or combine your photography adventure with marine wildlife viewing on Major Marine Tours. The company's Adventure Green Certification reflects their commitment to sustainable tourism, ensuring your photo adventures support Alaska's pristine environment for future generations.
