Description
Immerse yourself in the Everglades’ wild beauty with this private photography safari through the Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades National Park. Designed for photographers, birders, and nature enthusiasts, this exclusive experience pairs expert naturalist guidance with perfect lighting and rare access to the region’s most photogenic locations. Your journey begins aboard a stable, open-deck boat built for versatility and comfort. As dawn breaks or dusk settles, soft light glows across mangrove forests and tidal flats, revealing a world of detail and contrast. Capture spoonbills feeding in shallow waters, herons stalking prey, and dolphins breaking the surface against mirror-like reflections. Every tour is fully customized to your interests and pace. Whether you’re building a professional portfolio or just beginning your photography journey, your guide will adjust for lighting, weather, and wildlife activity to give you the best possible conditions. Along the way, you’ll learn about the Everglades’ fragile ecosystem — a vital sanctuary for birds, fish, and marine mammals. The experience is intimate, with space for up to six guests and plenty of room for tripods, camera bags, and gear setup. Snacks, bottled water, and personalized coaching are included to ensure both comfort and creativity flourish. By the end of the safari, you’ll not only have a gallery of breathtaking images but also a deeper understanding of how light, landscape, and life converge in one of America’s most extraordinary natural environments.
