6 Days • 5 Nights Included • 4 Nights in Lake Clark (Interested in Joining? Please Email Us to Join the Waitlist)
Join us for an intimate, small-group bear photography camping expedition into Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, designed for just four guests.
With three guides accompanying the group—including an experienced bear-viewing specialist—we’ll spend four nights and four full days in Lake Clark, immersing ourselves in the coastal wilderness and focusing on brown bears, wildlife, landscapes, and photography.
This is an all-inclusive experience once you arrive in Anchorage. Your accommodations, meals, transportation, guided activities, and included gratuities are all covered.
Your flights to and from Anchorage are the only travel expenses not included.
Take your wildlife photography to the next level by learning our editing process directly from your photography guides. You’ll have dedicated editing time during your stay to work through your own images, ask questions, and learn techniques you can continue using long after the workshop.
At the end of the workshop, we’ll bring everything together by creating a beautiful book featuring the images you selected and edited during your stay — giving you a lasting keepsake of your wildlife photography adventure.
Day 1 — Welcome to Anchorage
Arrive in Anchorage and check into our hotel for the evening.
Tonight, we’ll meet the group and your guides, enjoy dinner together, and go over the itinerary and everything you’ll need to know before heading into the wilderness.
We’ll discuss what to expect during the expedition, photography opportunities, weather conditions, and most importantly, bear-country safety and wilderness procedures.
This evening gives everyone a chance to get settled, meet the group, and prepare for an early departure the following morning.
Meals: Included
Overnight: Anchorage
Day 2 — Anchorage → Lake Clark
We’ll start the morning with an early breakfast before departing Anchorage and making our way toward Lake Clark National Park & Preserve.
Depending on our final camp location and conditions, we’ll travel into the park by small aircraft or boat.
Once we arrive, we’ll establish camp and get everyone settled into our wilderness home for the next four nights.
After camp is set up, we’ll begin our first afternoon of bear viewing. This first outing will give us an opportunity to become familiar with the landscape, observe how bears are using the area, and begin photographing them in their natural environment.
As evening approaches, we’ll take advantage of Alaska’s beautiful evening light for our first dedicated wildlife and landscape photography session.
Meals: Included
Overnight: Lake Clark Wilderness Camp — Night 1
Day 3 — Full Day Bear Viewing
Today begins our first full day immersed in Lake Clark.
We’ll spend the day exploring the surrounding habitat and looking for brown bears as they move through the landscape, feed, rest, and interact with their environment.
Our experienced bear-viewing specialist will provide insight into bear behavior and help us understand how the animals are using the landscape, while our photography guides will work with guests on composition, camera settings, positioning, and wildlife photography techniques.
With only four guests, we’ll be able to keep the experience personal and flexible, allowing us to spend more time in productive areas rather than rushing from location to location.
We’ll take breaks throughout the day before returning to the field for the afternoon and evening light.
Meals: Included
Overnight: Lake Clark Wilderness Camp — Night 2
Day 4 — Full Day Bear Viewing
We’ll spend another full day exploring Lake Clark and photographing its incredible wildlife and landscapes.
While brown bears will remain our primary focus, we’ll also keep our eyes open for the other wildlife that shares this ecosystem. Depending on conditions and location, this may include coastal birds, Bald Eagles, marine mammals, and other wildlife.
Between wildlife sessions, we’ll have opportunities to photograph the surrounding mountains, rivers, beaches, tidal flats, and other wilderness landscapes.
This is also another opportunity for personalized photography instruction, with our guides helping guests make the most of the changing light and wildlife activity.
Meals: Included
Overnight: Lake Clark Wilderness Camp — Night 3
Day 5 — Final Full Day in Lake Clark
Our final full day gives us another opportunity to experience Lake Clark without having to worry about packing up or traveling.
We’ll follow the wildlife and make the most of the conditions each day brings. Morning and evening light will provide some of our best photography opportunities, while the middle of the day can be used for exploring, landscape photography, and learning more about the ecosystem surrounding camp.
We’ll finish our final evening with a sunset photography session and one last opportunity to experience the wilderness before preparing for our departure the following morning.
Meals: Included
Overnight: Lake Clark Wilderness Camp — Night 4
Day 6 — Final Morning Bear Viewing → Anchorage
We’ll wake early for our final morning of bear viewing and photography.
This gives us one last opportunity to photograph the bears during the productive morning hours before returning to camp for breakfast and packing up.
Once camp is packed, we’ll begin our journey back to Anchorage by aircraft or boat, depending on our planned transportation and conditions.
After arriving in Anchorage, guests can either continue directly with their travels or use the optional final Anchorage hotel night if they would prefer to stay overnight.
