About

Perfect for both budding shutterbugs and seasoned photographers, this professionally led, small group transfer tour is an opportunity to capture the stunning beauty of Alaska following your cruise.

You’ll receive technical and creative guidance as you traverse the amazing Alaskan landscape along the Seward Highway National Scenic Byway, making stops for unexpected wildlife sightings and short walks in nature surrounded by spectacular vistas. From Seward, you will enjoy photographing the small boat harbor, marvel at the lush landscapes and striking glacial panorama. In the Kenai Peninsula, enjoy sweeping mountain views, lakes teeming with birds, and wildflower meadows.

After lunch in the old historic townsite of Hope, you will drive along the Turnagain Arm, witnessing the dramatic tides and coastal beauty that define this remarkable area. The boreal forest, picturesque mountain waterfalls, coastal meadows strewn with wildflowers, and sweeping views of the Chugach and Kenai Mountains make for memorable pictures. Bring your camera and lenses and dress to make the most out of this picture-perfect day. Finally, transfer to the Anchorage airport or downtown hotels.

Unlike other Seward-to-Anchorage transfer tours, our tour does not go to well-known, crowded locations. Our objective is to take you to explore unique photo locations and provide great photo opportunities.
