Tours & workshops
Bald Eagle Photography Workshop
2025 dates: June 23-28, July 10-15 & July 23-28
Every year, Bald Eagles gather by the hundreds near Vancouver Island to feast on hake, a fish species in the cod family. The hake are forced to the surface by strong currents, overinflating their swim bladder and leaving them vulnerable to predators. You often don’t know where to point your lens; eagles fly down to capture hake non-stop, all-around you. You can have dozens, if not hundreds of opportunities each hour to nail the perfect action shot!
Great Bear Rainforest
2025 dates: September 5-12
From Grizzly Bears in coastal estuaries, to bubble-netting Humpback Whales, to Spirit Bears fishing for salmon, to large gatherings of Bald Eagles, the Great Bear Rainforest offers an unparalleled wildlife viewing experience. By living aboard a sailboat for a week, you will be fully immersed in the Great Bear Rainforest ecosystem.
Haines Triangle Birding
2025 dates: June 4-9
Located in the far northwestern corner of British Columbia is my favourite place on earth: the Haines Triangle. The St. Elias Mountains make for a visually breathtaking and picturesque backdrop to an arctic-like ecosystem, home to an amazing array of alpine and subalpine bird and wildlife species.
