Review of Vancouver’s half-day whale-watching cruise, with heated cabins, free wildlife photos, expert guides, wildlife tips, and practical value advice.

“Our tour guide Nafees was wonderful, so friendly and informative. We went all over the place and he showed us so much of Vancouver. One part of the tour was quite strenuous, but he walked in the back and allowed us to pick our pace. Never once rushing us, always making sure we took rests and had plenty to drink. I would highly recommend this tour, as we both really enjoyed Nafees and seeing all the beauty that Vancouver had to offer.”
Hike Vancouver’s Stawamus Chief with photographer Nafees, learn smartphone or DSLR skills, and see Shannon Falls on a demanding small-group day trip.
“Had a great day with Nafees hiking up the Chief and check-in out Shannon Falls. He was very friendly, attentive and had great tips along the way, both for shooting good pictures as well as for the hike itself as it was quite a technical one. Thanks.”

Learn photography, hike Bowen Island, and ride the ferry from Vancouver on a six-hour small-group nature tour with DSLR use and photos.
“The tour was really great!! Nash was a good tour guide and he had a good knowledge of bowen island as well as vancouver area. We shared lot of stories and he showed me lot of beautiful parks. Moreover, I discovered a nice restaurant in the village and the food was excellent especially the soup and bread. Moreover, he took good pictures of me and the quality is excellent! I can litterally say it was much better than I was expecting and I wish to have Nash as a tour guide again. It's thanks to him if I really enjoyed my visit on Bowen Island!!”
Photograph Stanley Park at golden hour with guide Nafees, learning camera and iPhone skills while exploring Vancouver’s forest, seawall, and sunset beach.
“The photography tour was the highlight of my visit. Nafees is an excellent tour guide and photographer. He not only showed me the best spots in Stanley park, but also shared valuable tips on taking photos from iPhone. I wish I had done this tour towards the beginning of my trip so I could use the tips in other photos as well. A plus is the complimentary photo shoot, as a solo traveller, I appreciated the photos he took of me around these amazing places creating memories. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is visiting Vancouver.”

“We had a great time in Gastown with Nafees. Learned some of the history of Gastown while he taught us some cool techniques for night photography. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting the most out of their camera or phone, or just want to find the best spots to shoot in the area.”
Photograph the Canadian Rockies on a five-day small-group road trip from Vancouver, with guided hikes, wildlife, lakes, and hot springs.

Chris and Jake were so kind and patient and gave me so many ideas to take into my future photography efforts. The 2 hours flew by and was lots of fun. My husband isn’t a photographer but enjoyed the walk and chatting about the local area. I returned to some of the spots the next day and tried again as was so inspired. Highly recommended.”
