Testimonials

David is a gem. I didn't use him much for field work. Greatly appreciated his help with the Milky Way. He was also very, very good in setting up the portrait work. He is a keeper.

Naadam Festival and the Cultures of Mongolia

Seeing Mongolia with Kevin was a dream come true. The photography opportunities were plentiful! It was so much more that I expected. We were able to meet the locals, learn about their culture, and fully experience Mongolia. If you are going to go to Mongolia, go with Kevin. His experience with the country and access to the locals is second to none.

Great all round opportunities for iconic images. Small group a plus for shooting.

Namibia Safari

Amazing trip! Go with this company!! HIGHLY recommended. I was lucky enough to participate BOTH Yellowknife (Sept) and Fairbanks (Feb) Northern light photo tours and both were excellent. I was very happy with accommodation and photography host's instructors. As always, learned lot and I improved my photo skills! Every night, our photo instructors reaching out to weather forecast, Northern lights forecasts and road conditions to bring best photo opportunity for us. Driving long distance, walking around snow cover area and encouraging us to find great spot for photographing middle of the nigh! Thank you for your hard work! Loved it every moment - I had SOOO much fun! Yes, I would go back again (both trips)!! I would highly recommend to others 100% plus! Thank you Kevin, James and Mindy for helping me capture wonderful images! Looking forward to join another Akari Photo Tours!

Alaska Northern Lights in Winter

Akari with Kevin Lisota and local expert guide Dennis provided us with excellent photo opportunities. The photography was challenging due to the low light, but I came away with many more "keepers" than I expected and am very pleased. We already have plans to travel with Akari in 2026.

Elated doesn't even begin to cover it!!! My wife and I recently traveled with Akari Photos Tours in Newfoundland, and the experience exceeded every expectation. James and Mindy went above and beyond to accommodate our needs — and I mean every single day — bending over backwards to make sure we each got what we came for. I'm not a photographer by any stretch, while my wife is, so our needs were pretty different. Didn't matter — James and Mindy made sure we both had multiple opportunities to capture the moment, whether that meant thousands of iPhone shots for me and indelibly burning memories for me, or serious camera work for Rose. They read the room perfectly and adjusted for both of us (and the others on the tour) without missing a beat. Beyond the photography, the views were simply breathtaking — the kind that get burned into your permanent memory for life. There was something deeply satisfying about just sitting quietly and taking it all in. If you're considering a Newfoundland tour, or any other for that matter, do yourself a favor and book with Akari Photos. James and Mindy don't just lead a tour — they crafted and executed perfectly on an unforgettable life changing experience!
