This was my 4th trip with Akari Photo Tours and our second with James and Mindy. I have done Alaska a few times, even once by boat, but this was Wendy's first time that was not from a cruise ship. There is a big difference in both perspective and pace. I like this way about a thousand times better. For photos, maybe two thousand times.

The Alaskan Story was our yacht and home for the trip and the crew members were awesome and took great care of us. The Whale watching was spectacular and the other wildlife was fun too. I took the drone, and got a lot more comfortable with it on this trip. I think I'll take it with me to New Zealand.
