Item Description

 

Grab two friends and head out to Point Reyes National Seashore for a 5-hour, half day photographic adventure with Daniel Dietrich of Point Reyes Safaris. Depending on your interests, Daniel can tailor your photo safari to capture the early morning light and wildlife, or through the golden glow of dusk that casts perfect light on your subject. If your only goal is to see or photograph your first bobcat, he'll dedicate the full safari to that goal. If your goal is to photograph as many species of birds as possible, you'll hit all the hot spots to get as many as possible. All safaris start with pickup at your local accommodation. If you are staying outside of the area, we will meet at the Bear Valley Visitor Center in the park. Snacks and drinks are provided, but bring along a picnic lunch for you and your guests. 

Daniel Dietrich is a professional photographer, national park volunteer and lover of nature. His travels have taken him and his camera to every continent on the planet to photograph wildlife. When home, he spends nearly every day in Point Reyes National Seashore. His intimate knowledge of the park, its history, and the animal life will provide you with a one of a kind experience. Daniel's commitment to nature, his clients and his followers is to shoot nature as it presents itself. He will never use bait, lures, calls or any other method of manipulating an animal to view or capture an image.

"We recently spent a full day there with Daniel Dietrich - the owner of Point Reyes Safaris - and had an incredible time.  We have been to Point Reyes numerous times in the past, and we now have a whole different - and better - perspective after our safari with Daniel.  The variety of wildlife is incredible, and Daniel has a very keen eye - it was amazing what he could identify - including a burrowing owl in a small hole off to the side of the road.  The day ended with us watching a bobcat hunt for prey in one of the most beautiful settings you can imagine.  Daniel is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the park, and he is sensitive to the fragility of the area and has a deep sense of outdoors ethics.  He is also an excellent photographer and has a great sense of humor." ~ Andrew, San Mateo
