Photography & Intermediate Hiking

About this experience

Deep Cove is a popular local spot for hiking, kayaking and restaurants. As an outdoors guide with 20+ years of experience leading hikes, I will show you how to hike safely, following your own pace if needed. As a photographer I'll not only take beautiful photos of your memories, but also teach you landscape photography regardless of whether you carry a smartphone or DSLR.

Itinerary and highlights

We'll spend the 3 hours hiking through old-growth forests, waterfalls, ocean lookouts and amazing viewpoints. Your tour is a picture-perfect way to experience Canada’s nature, while learning the basics of landscape photography. All levels of hikers and types of cameras are welcome.

The 4 hours tour takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city and into Deep Cove, to hike the popular Quarry Rock hike. Considered a beginners hike, it has some steep climbs and lots of stairs so a good level of fitness is required.

The tour includes return transportation from your accommodation to the mountain trails, photography lessons/tips and complimentary photos. Hiking poles (optional) can be borrowed.
