E. Nome Alaska, Musk Oxen and Birds in Breeding Plumage-June 14th-19th, 2026

$5,250 single Occupancy

Step into one of North America’s most remote and untamed landscapes—Nome, Alaska, where the road ends and the wild begins. This exclusive, small-group photography tour offers a front-row seat to the raw beauty of the Alaskan tundra, where musk oxen graze against sweeping horizons, Arctic birds nest in quiet valleys, and the light itself feels ancient and alive.

Designed for photographers who want to go deeper than postcards and capture real stories from the edge of the world, this tour is about patience, presence, and personal discovery. Whether you're drawn to the surreal patterns of permafrost, the wide-open skies, or the intimate moments of wildlife in motion, Nome delivers unforgettable opportunities.

With only three participants, you’ll receive hands-on instruction and one-on-one guidance in the field. We’ll take our time exploring the surrounding tundra roads and ridges, adjusting to weather and wildlife movement, and learning to see more than just what's in front of the lens. Each day offers a mix of structured shooting sessions and flexible exploration, allowing you to build a unique visual narrative of your own.

And it’s not just about the images—it’s about the experience of being out there, in it, together. Expect quiet moments, shared wonder, unexpected sightings, and the rare luxury of being fully immersed in nature, without distraction.
