Photography tours

Whether you are a professional or beginner photographer or just interested in learning a few skills to create better imagery, this tour is for you. Much like our whale and bear tours, the photography tours take you around Clayoquot Sound, viewing the wildlife and landscapes the area has on offer. Our photo tours are four hours long instead of the regular two and a half wildlife tours to ensure we have enough time to capture fantastic wildlife imagery. Our guide Kyler Vos will shoot alongside, sharing and educating you on basic camera settings and secret tricks to capture each subject. Tide and weather dependent, we will photograph bears, whales, eagles, and everything else along the way. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee you will see and photograph all the magnificent flora and fauna as things change day to day.

There is a classic saying “ the best camera is the one in your hand,” which is true, but having a camera with a telephoto lens goes a long way when photographing whales, bears and birds. Any camera will work on our tours, but we suggest not relying on your iPhone. Remember that our zodiac is an open vessel, so depending on the weather and the wind, you may get some moisture on your gear. We suggest a waterproof bag or rain shield to ensure everything stays dry on our tours.
