Humpback Whale Photography
Photographing Humpback Whales demands patience and a steady hand, but the reward — a huge body breaching or a fluked dive against open water — is one of the most exhilarating sights in wildlife photography. NaturesLens builds its whale-focused holidays around small groups and experienced tour leaders, giving photographers the best possible chance of capturing these moments from the water without the trip feeling rushed or overcrowded. Whether you're after breaching action or the drama of bubble-netting behaviour, these holidays are designed with the camera, not just the sighting, in mind.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the Humpback Whale
NaturesLens runs its Humpback Whale photography holidays in the United States, with trips based around La Jolla, Sitka and Homer. The Californian Pelicans & Whales holiday centres on the waters off La Jolla, while Breathtaking Bubble-Netting Whales heads to Sitka, and Sea Otters & Bald Eagles of Alaska takes in Homer as part of its itinerary. These holidays are typically scheduled for February and March, so photographers wanting to add Humpback Whales to their portfolio should look to travel with NaturesLens during those months.
