Kike Arnaiz: Travel YouTuber, Wildlife Photo, Videos and Nature Style

Quick facts

Who is Kike Arnaiz?

Kike Arnaiz is a Spanish wildlife and travel photographer whose life revolves around nature and the camera. Starting years ago with a camera and a one-way ticket, he built 1.03M YouTube subscribers across 741 videos documenting free wildlife around the world — sharing travels, technical tips, field stories and everything behind the shot.

His CV carries institutional weight: more than ten years professional, client work for National Geographic, Google and Samsung, photography courses across Latin America and Spain selected among the best in their category, with thousands of students learning not just technique but how to see. His site states the method in three words: travel, explore, observe.

The 2026 output shows the range: starting a first garden in Costa Rica, the Costa Rica few tourists see and why he loves it, the unknown wildlife of Miami, and a breakdown of his ten best-selling travel stock photos. Field craft plus business transparency — that combination is the channel, and the reason 15,000 students trust his teaching.

2. Wildlife channel (growth years). Free-nature documentation scales past one million subscribers with NatGeo-grade imagery.

Explore the destination differently
