Alaska Black Bears with Tom and Cree Bol

Join Tom and Cree in Wrangell, Alaska to photograph black bears feasting on pink salmon in the rainforest.  We will photograph bears for at least two full days at the Anan Wilderness Area. On other days we will look for marine animals like Sea Otters, Stellar’s Sealions, Humpback Whales and Harbor Seals.  We explore the towns of Wrangell and Petersburg and visit one of the most active tidewater glaciers in Alaska, the dazzling blue LeConte Glacier. If the weather is clear, we will eat on the outdoor deck by our hotel and wait for bright orange sunsets to light up the distant islands.

Each morning we will leave our waterfront hotel in Wrangell and travel by jet boat to our photo destination for the day. This photo tour will show you all of the best things to photograph in Southeast, Alaska. You will have a lot of fun, improve your photography, and create amazing images worthy for your walls back home.

This workshop is limited to 8 photographs to give everyone more space in the boat and on the bear viewing platforms.
