About
Alaska is a dramatic landscape that only gets more stunning from the air. For this year-round tour, we select locations that provide great compositions from the drone's perspective. You will be transported outside of Anchorage (which has very restricted airspace), and taken to locations where drone use is permitted. Your guide will provide naturalist information along the way about the scenery you are exploring. Drone Dreamscapes is designed for the casual drone flier to the serious drone photographer. Throughout the tour, you'll be offered creative and technical photo tips by your Alaska Photo Treks guide. If you are traveling to Alaska to use your drone, this is a great tour to start our your Alaska trip!
