Vancouver Island photo tours with David Hutchison
licensed | insured | experienced
custom full or half day photo tours
Welcome to my Nature Photo Tours on Vancouver Island. I have been a professional photographer based on Vancouver Island for over 17 years. I offer private customized tours for photographers and tourists alike that want to explore & create in the difficult to find locations on Vancouver Island. The service includes myself, my Acura MDX SUV, and bottled water (lunch and snacks are included with full day trips). I also have a built-in fridge in the SUV to make your experience more enjoyable (cold water on hot days!). Pick up and drop off at the Victoria International Airport or BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay (Sidney / North Saanich) is also included.
Nature Photo Tours are offered on a full day and half basis with multiple days being accepted. Second (or third) person travelling on the same trip is half price. Note, mileage is additional and billed separately and varies depending on where we travel on the Island and current fuel prices. Vancouver Island can take around 8 hours to drive from top to bottom ... and that is one way! Additionally, I am ICBC insured and licensed to transport people for adventure tours. My vehicle is also ICBC safety inspected every 6 months.
Any questions, please email directly. I am happy to answer your questions.
