Of all the places I've traveled to, Alaska has always felt different. It felt like coming home. The expansive landscapes and intimate experiences here ground me to nature and provide a spiritual fulfillment like no other.
My favorite places in Alaska? Pybus Point Lodge! I love all things Alaska, but for me the fun is when you can leave the often traveled path and find the rarely traveled parts that offer the most unique experiences. Pybus Point Lodge is located on Admiralty Island, which has the highest population of brown bears. That makes it one of the best places in the world to view these magnificent creatures. It's also located on the famous Southeast Alaska Inner passage which means the fishing is world-class, the wildlife is abundant, and the adventures are endless!
One of my favorite experiences is when I went to film the migrating Humpback whales that visit our bays every year. After a short 10min boat ride, we encountered a pod of whales that quickly surround our boat! The sights and sounds of all those whales feeding inches away from our boat was overwhleming! I forgot that I was even filming and was caught up in the grandeur of what I was experiencing seeing these gentle giants breach out of the water and bubble net feed for hours.

Please be courteous and launch and land your drone away from structures, cabins, and people. Our air spaces is heavily used by seaplanes. Never fly near aircraft or boats while in operation.

Many of our the local wildlife are protected species and harassing them can come with hefty fines, and potential prision time.

Calm water also can make your your aircraft's downward facing sensors inaccurate and a large majority of our guests drones end up on the ocean bottom instead of the boat.

A workshop is generally used to teach you new techniques in a studio or teach you post-production and business skills. ... A photo tour is designed to maximize the photographic opportunities with instruction along the way. Alaska is blessed with long summer days and we intend to take full advantage of all that sunlight on our photography tour! Rather than being coped up in a cabin teaching the in's and out's of camera's, we would rather you be out in the wild experiencing raging waterfalls, intimate wildlife experiences, and possibly experiencing the northern lights for your first time.
While the majority of our guests often see bears, we can never guarantee that bears will be spotted. Weather, natural phenomenon, and wildlife are dependent on conditions outside of our control. Our guides will safely do everything possible to find and allow you to document these magnificent creatures. With us partnering up with Pack Creek Bear tours and with being on a island with one of the highest concentrations of brown bears in the world, we are in a fantastic position to give our guests viewing opportunities.
