Rave reviews...
"I went on the Eagle show tour with Coastal Workshops. Stuart and Stan come highly recommended. Both are skilled wildlife photographers and marine pilots/guides. Having these backgrounds as leaders of workshops is a huge advantage for us clients. They will always try and get you on the right side of the light if possible."
"The Eagle Show excursion was a BEST DAY! The experience of watching the eagles gather, dive bomb for hake in the rip currents was amazing! Added BONUS, stopping to watch a group of 10 humbacks feeding on krill all around our zodiac. Our captains stopped the boat to allow our group to capture some amazing photos. Extra added bonus, we stopped to observe a pod of killer whales hunting for their supper. WOW! Our 2 captains were very knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife, and provided excellent advice to our group of photographers. THANK YOU Stuart and Stan, the day was amazing!"
"What an awesome experience! Stan and Stuart got us right into all the animals we came to see, and we had a blast doing it! They were gracious and accommodating hosts, and spent time with everyone to ensure they learned and got the images they came for. I came away with a strongly positive impression of the workshop, the animals we came to photograph, and the city of Campbell River itself. Strongly recommended!"
