What To Expect

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.

disappointing exit. The only good thing is that they're picking us up at home. The Deep cove site is very beautiful. We could have done this walk without a guide thanks to the very well marked path. The “guide” does not tell us about the environment in which we walk or the history of the place, if we do not ask questions, we have no information. And photo level we had no advice, unfortunately, because that's what interested us. The title of this outing should have been: I take you to Depp Cove, I come with you to show you where to go and take pictures. we would not have chosen this trip "photography and intermediate hiking"
Thank you Nafees for an...

Thank you Nafees for an amazing hike at Quarry Rock! Highly recommended :) He gave great tips on how to take great photos and show you hidden places with great views and less crowd. He is very thoughtful and patient and goes at your pace during the hike.

This was an amazing hike up a beautiful trail. Nafees was terrific and very patient as my wife and I are both in our 60s and don't move like mountain goats anymore. I can strongly recommend working with Nafees and taking this hike!
Fantastic

A lovely hike that was just the right mix in between a fresh walk and a little challenge. Nafees made it a nice experience with good conversation and offering to take some keepsake photos. A morning well spent!
Wonderful Day Wonderful Photos

Nafees was wonderful and took me on a solo tour of Vancouver nature hikes. I would consider myself a intermediate photographer, but he helped me to explore long exposures and macro photography more. I would love to post more photos, but the site isn't accepting the photos I took on my camera, just the ones on my phone. Sorry, they were great though!
Great day with a great guide

This was my last day in Vancouver and I hadn't had many good photo ops. I booked this tour and have come home with a good selection of photos of both natural areas and city views that will remind me of my time in Vancouver. Thanks Nafees for a great full day of photography.
Great experience
