Turnagain Arm

Surrounded by two mountain ranges and home to the highest tide variations in the United States, the Turnagain Arm is a stunning visual journey just south of the city of Anchorage. Join us for a photographic exploration of the stunning coastal and mountain landscapes as we explore the highlights of the Turnagain Arm. Your itinerary includes Turnagain Arm, Chugach National Forest, and Chugach State Park, with the opportunity to photograph mountain streams, waterfalls, coastal mudflats, glaciers, and both the Chugach and Kenai mountains. Depending on the season, wildlife opportunities may include bears, moose, Dall sheep, Bald eagles, and Beluga whale. Unlike other Turnagain Arm tours available in Anchorage, our tour does not go to well-known, crowded locations. Our objective is to take you off the beaten path to explore unique photo locations that provide great photo opportunities.

Focus on Feathers

Anchorage has a wonderful mix of migratory and resident birds, providing year-round opportunities for the bird photography enthusiast. That is why we created Focus on Feathers – Anchorage’s only tour dedicated to birding. For this year-round bird photo tour, we are selecting the best locations where you can find birds in any season where you visit. You will be transported to various locations in Anchorage, where your guide will provide naturalist information, guide you to prime locations, and provide photographic tips on how to photograph birds if needed. Focus on Feathers is photographic fun for the dedicated bird photographer who wants to capture songbirds, corvids, raptors, shorebirds, and more in the diverse habitat present in the Anchorage area. Departure times are based on the time of year when the birds are most active. The group size is  2-5. Group size is limited out of a desire to not disturb birds in some sensitive habitat areas.
