This photo adventure is led by renowned nature and adventure photographer Darran Leal with his wife Julia.

No, but the bear adventures are legendary with past participants. You can expect the stunning wilderness scenes of Alaska, plus unique bear encounters including cubs, salmon catching, bear interaction and beautiful nature from forest to bald eagles. Picture yourself surrounded by blue icebergs towering against snow-capped peaks, witnessing whales breaching and bubble netting.
