We now have a website dedicated to our Juneau Photo Tours! Visit us at juneauphototours.com and Peter looks forward to sharing the beauty of this wonderful area!
Juneau, Alaska is one of the most beautiful locations you will ever visit. The dynamic mountain ranges combined with the temperate rain forest has created one of the most diverse, and unique habitats on earth. Whether you’re looking to photograph epic landscapes or hope to have a close encounter with bears, Juneau, AK has it all.
Juneau Photo Tours
If you’re visiting Juneau and you’re a photographer, you want to go to the best locations. Peter Nestler was born and raised in Southeast Alaska and has spent a large amount of time hiking, exploring and photographing the Juneau area. Getting to the best locations is more than just knowing where to go. The weather in the Juneau, Alaska area is notoriously all over the map. Sometimes we have clear, sunny skies. Most of the time, it’s raining. Certain locations are best under specific conditions. We can help you get there.
We have limited availability for our Juneau Photo Tours since Peter Nestler likes to do them all personally. Contact us as soon as possible to see if he is available while you are here.

Don’t worry about skill level, he teaches basic through advanced levels and has over 20 years of teaching experience.
