Exciting Alaska Tours

 

aurora borealis

Alaska. The name alone reminds you of a land filled with vast wilderness and timeless wonder. A land of vivid history, incredible intensity, and natural majesty. A thriving, spectacular land saturated with colors that artists have never even dreamed of; pure blues buried deep within calving glaciers and heavenly spectrum of the aurora borealis reflected in eternity's endless nights.

Wild Compass Tours is composed of photographers and geared toward photographers. We want you to experience the photographic adventure, not just view it. This company was founded so dedicated wildlife enthusiasts and photographers could enjoy their time out with the wildlife instead of being over crowded and on someone elses time schedule.

We only take 4 people each tour, so you will never have to be on an overcrowded whale watching boat, or listen to loud voices when trying to be quiet for the wildlife.

With the bears, we have an armed and experienced guide with us at all times.

We also advise on what to bring, what to wear, and equipment recommendations.

One of a Kind Photographic Experience

 

Fishing, Interrupted

 

It's also a land where photographers can capture images unlike anywhere else on the planet. Under the spell of the Yukon, you can experience the thrill of photographing elegant glaciers and graceful whales, growling grizzlies and majestic moose and soaring eagles and you get to do it all up close and personal because you're one of only four people on the tour. To get up close and not so personal with the biggest of the grizzlies and capture the splendor of the majestic humpback, book with Wild Compass Photographic Adventure Tours!

 

Why Choose
Wild Compass Photo Adventure Tour

  • Photographer Shayne McGuire has hand picked the guides for each tour:
    Captain Kevin, a 15 year seafaring veteran who will not only make sure you get the best views and angles, but will also drop a fishing line for you. Most tour guests come back with salmon and halibut!
  • Matt, a 10 year veteran wildlife guide. He will take us to where the grizzlies and salmon make their last stand.
  • With Wild Compass Tours, the clock doesn't stop if the shooting is good! If it's time to head back to camp, yet, there are 24 grizzlies feeding in front of us...we stay.
  • Shayne is there to help with cameras, equipment, and all photographic aspects. Nightly review of images is also available for those who require additional help.
  • You don't need to buy expensive equipment, you can rent what you need. I recommend Lens Pro to Go. Let them know you are on my tour and receive a discount!
  • You'll come back with the images of a lifetime, but you will earn them.
