Nature Photography Adventures set out to create
the best Galapagos Photography Adventures in the market.

Our photography tours in the Galapagos Islands are superior because:

·     Every group will be led by professional nature photographers Diane Kelsay and Bob Harvey, who are also skilled at helping participants grow photographically while making excellent images.  They lead nature photography adventures around the world and have guided many participants to becoming better nature photographers and stewards of the planet. 

They are not just good nature photographers who happen to be leading a trip - they have great skills at helping you become a better photographer and at getting to the the right place at the right time for action!

This is not their first time in the Galapagos - Diane led her first group of photographers here in 1985!

·     We have itineraries planned around photography – and we go ashore for “the good light” and for premium “wildlife activity”. 

We ARE the only group on the boat - so our landings and return to the boat are only influenced by photography and the rules of the islands - not by another group wanting to hurry along a trail and get back to boat.

·     Our naturalist guide, Juan Manuel Salcedo, is among the best in the world – he grew up in the Galapagos, has a strong natural history education, and has first-hand knowledge of both geological and biological patterns.  He is also a photographer himself and understands the challenges and opportunities of photography in the Galapagos.

·     Our groups are small – no more than 12 for two photography guides and one naturalist guide.  And, we have the entire Samba to ourselves - no other groups get in our way or compete for landing or trail times.

·     The yacht is laid out in a great way to facilitate downloads and battery charging, photography discussions, and even PowerPoint presentations.  There is a great open deck that gives photographers plenty of working room when we spot whales, play with dolphins, or approach exciting land masses.

·     Our guide has designed and secured two great itineraries for photographers – both in choice of islands and time slots ashore.  (Each vessel in the Galapagos has itineraries assigned by the National Park).  Each of our itineraries opens unique photographic opportunities – you can choose between them – or choose to join us for both.  Each itinerary visits a separate set of islands, no overlap.

·     We’ll have unique opportunities to photograph underwater while snorkeling.  Dive skins, masks, snorkels, and flippers will be provided at no extra cost.

·     The Samba serves outstanding meals - the food is mostly organically grown on the islands.  Seafood is sustainably harvested.
