Testimonials
Our trip to Algonquin Park was all about
moose photography and it was truly awesome! The combination of Michael
Bertelsen and Algonquin Park is unbeatable... Michael's expertise and
non-invasive approach to wildlife gets you in close to the moose without
impacting their normal behavior, perfect for getting those special
images. The perspective from the boat is unique and provides a
background of the beautiful shoreline and trees as the moose indulge
endlessly on lily pads. We are already planning our next trip. Thanks
Michael for a great adventure, Larry K
Michael, Overdue in thanking you for your wonderful Loon\Moose
photo workshop last month. As you know I do a fair bit of wildlife &
landscape photography around North America, including attending a
number of well known workshops. My experience with you in Algonquin was
world class. Not only because of the scenery & wildlife but largely
because of your knowledge & enthusiasm. I am already making plans
for another trip with you. Thanks, Jack P
Contact Michael if you have further questions or to check availability and to request a booking.
