Get ready to check Alaska off your Top 10 list!  This is the tour for you.
Year after year, participants have said it themselves - "This is just SO magical!" and thus it inspired the name for this tour.  
Prepare to have a truly magical, private, small-group experience!  You will explore the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska with us as we take you to spectacular locations each day.  This unique region is often called "Alaska in Miniature" because virtually every Alaskan wildlife habitat type except Arctic tundra is represented here.  This tour will provide any nature-loving individual with an experience of a lifetime!  
The crowd-free atmosphere gives you the peace, flexibility, mental and physical space to  photograph Alaska from your own unique point of view. In addition, your caring leader(s) are also experienced and skilled photographers who can help provide advice, instruction and guidance that enables you to capture incredible images of Alaska through your lens.   This truly is a world-class experience.

Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of our new location!  Our new location is nestled on a bluff overlooking the Cook Inlet and the magnificent Alaska Mountain Range-- including the awe-inspiring Mt. Redoubt, a beautiful dormant volcano.  The cabins are even more inviting than the ones we have previously utilized. I am confident that this change will provide an enhanced experience for all workshop attendees. 

• We typically see 50-60 species of birds and wildlife - including moose, bear, eagles, puffins, whales and more
• Only 6 participants on each wonderfully private, one-of-a-kind, first class adventure 
• You are never without support!  Lisa Langell will be there with one of her personally trained photography guides.  You will be joined by either leader (and often both) on each daily excursion and at the lodge throughout the tour.  This offers you a tailored photographic experience with plenty of guidance and support.  In addition, the boat captains, local wildlife guides and other experts that will further support your experience
• This incredible experience is designed to be original and unlike any other photography tour offered in Alaska
