Our Scheduled Wildlife Photography Holidays In March

Photography holidays in March sit at a pivotal point in the winter wildlife calendar, combining lingering snow & ice with rapidly improving light levels & increasingly dynamic animal behaviour across high-latitude destinations.

March is the defining month for winter eagle photography in Alaska, particularly around Homer & Sitka. Longer daylight hours, active feeding behaviour, & dramatic coastal scenery make photography holidays in March in Alaska especially productive for photographing Bald Eagles against snow-covered mountains, ice-fringed shorelines, & open water.

Boat-based photography plays a central role in Alaska during March, allowing repeated access to feeding areas & flight paths while maintaining controlled shooting distances. Predictable behaviour, combined with clean winter backgrounds & strong directional light, gives photographers extended opportunities to refine flight shots, interaction sequences, & environmental compositions.

In northern Europe, photography holidays in March remain firmly winter-focused. The Norwegian Arctic, & particularly the Varanger region, continues to offer exceptional opportunities for seabirds, sea eagles, & Arctic specialists. Snow-covered tundra, frozen coastlines, & increasing bird activity make March a strong month for photographers seeking winter atmosphere with greater daily shooting flexibility.

At the start of the month, northern Scandinavia also delivers one of its most visually striking experiences. In Northern Sweden, Golden Eagles are still photographed against snow-covered forests & frozen lakes. These early March conditions combine classic winter aesthetics with improving light angles, making this period particularly well suited to controlled, behaviour-led eagle photography.

Across all destinations, well-designed photography holidays in March are typically built around:

• Lingering winter conditions paired with rapidly improving daylight
• Highly active seasonal behaviour, particularly among raptors & seabirds
• Clean, controlled shooting environments that allow time-rich fieldwork

Below, you’ll find NaturesLens photography holidays running in March across multiple destinations & years. Each itinerary is carefully timed to exploit the transitional conditions that make photography holidays in March such a compelling choice for photographers seeking winter visuals with increased activity & longer shooting days.

For photographers exploring the winter season in depth, March forms a natural progression from earlier winter months. Our photography holidays in January focus on the most compressed winter conditions & simplified landscapes, while photography holidays in February retain deep winter aesthetics with gradually improving light. March builds on both, offering increased activity without losing the clean, controlled environments that define winter wildlife photography.
