A 7-Day Photographic Journey Through the Wild Heart of Southeast Alaska with Neil McDermott

Step aboard Captain Neil’s 43-foot expedition-style catamaran and set out across one of the most wildlife-rich ecosystems on Earth. Over six full days of shooting and 700 miles of travel, you’ll photograph the raw and wild beauty of Alaska’s Alexander Archipelago — a place where brown and black bears fish in rushing streams, orcas hunt in glassy fjords, puffins flash across emerald seas, and glaciers thunder into the ocean.
With a heated cabin, open deck space, and the steady hand of a seasoned Alaskan captain, this journey offers both comfort and access to extraordinary photographic opportunities.
What You’ll Experience
• Coastal brown bears, bald eagles, and whales bubble-net feeding
• The dramatic Waterfall Coast and Hidden Falls Hatchery, home to eagles, bears, and orcas
• Kupreanof Island’s inland creeks, where black bears fish and moose may appear
• The quiet majesty of Frederick Sound, alive with orcas, sea lions, and otters
• Icefields and harbor seals near the Le Conte Glacier, one of Alaska’s most photogenic locations
Your adventure begins in Sitka, ends in Petersburg, and includes comfortable stays in locally owned lodges along the way. Every day offers new light, new wildlife, and new photographic inspiration.
Come experience the wild Alaska few ever see — guided by someone who knows these waters by heart.
