    NaturesLens runs small-group wildlife photography holidays across North America, with itineraries designed around the region’s birds and mammals rather than general sightseeing. Current North America departures include Breathtaking Bubble-Netting Whales, Californian Pelicans & Whales, Florida Ospreys and Grizzly Bears of British Columbia, with time planned for hide, boat-based, flight, night or low-light and landscape and behaviour photography sessions in destinations including Canada and United States. North America excels at scale – think Yellowstone’s frosted landscapes, Canada’s wilderness & Alaska’s marine giants. Our wildlife photography holidays favour small groups, single-occupancy comfort & expert guidance so you can focus on timing, exposure & storytelling. Expect prolonged encounters with wolves & lynx, intimate sessions with sea otters & bald eagles, & breathtaking whale behaviour. Every NaturesLens wildlife photography tour is carefully structured around light & movement, with unhurried shooting windows & practical tuition. Join us for a North American wildlife photography holiday that delivers powerful imagery & the confidence to tackle challenging winter & coastal conditions. We currently schedule holidays, tours & safaris in Canada & United States. North America offers outstanding opportunities for wildlife photography, with the chance to photograph species such as Grizzly Bear, Brown Bear, Bison, Moose, Bald Eagle, Wolverine, Canada Lynx, Sea Otter & Humpback Whale. These highlighted species represent only a small part of the wildlife found across the area, with many more species present depending on habitat, region & seasonal conditions. Trips in North America are led by our team of photographers, including David Miles & Pui Hang Miles, offering experienced guidance throughout.
