Iceland Photography Tour 2027
Eight unforgettable days through the Icelandic Highlands and South Coast. Discover volcanic wilderness, glacial rivers, waterfalls, black sand beaches and the possibility of the Northern Lights — guided by award-winning photographers Isabella Tabacchi and Filip Hrebenda.
Beyond the familiar Iceland.
Iceland is where nature feels almost impossible. Rivers become abstract paintings, mountains emerge from black deserts and ice meets the Atlantic Ocean.
This Iceland landscape photography workshop combines the remote Icelandic Highlands with the unforgettable scenery of the South Coast. We will work around light, weather and photographic opportunities rather than following an inflexible sightseeing schedule.
From the smallest details in a glacial river to the scale of a volcanic mountain, our goal is to help you create photographs that feel personal, expressive and extraordinary.

Iceland Photo Tour Itinerary
From the remote Icelandic Highlands to the glaciers and black beaches of the South Coast, every day brings a new photographic opportunity.
The itinerary is flexible and may change due to weather, light, road access and safety conditions.
Arrival in Iceland & Welcome Meeting
Our Iceland photography tour begins at Keflavík International Airport (KEF). After the airport pickup, we travel to our first accommodation and settle in. We introduce the workshop, discuss the coming days, prepare our equipment and, if conditions allow, enjoy an initial photography session.
Volcanic Deserts, Glacial Rivers & Crater Lakes
We venture into the Icelandic Highlands aboard modified 4x4 vehicles, exploring one of the country's most visually extraordinary regions. Possible locations include Háifoss, the volcanic crater lakes Hnausapollur and Ljótipollur, the canyon of Sigöldugljúfur and remote landscapes shaped by ancient eruptions and glacial water.
We will focus on composition, color, patterns, abstract aerial photography where permitted, and the dramatic meeting between water and volcanic terrain.
Waterfalls, Jökulsárlón & Diamond Beach
As we continue toward southeast Iceland, we plan photography stops at impressive waterfalls such as Skógafoss and Kvernufoss. Later we head toward Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, where luminous blue ice, reflections, volcanic sand and moving Atlantic waves offer endless creative possibilities.
Vestrahorn, Stokksnes & Eystrahorn
We dedicate time to the striking coastal mountains of East Iceland. Vestrahorn rises above the dunes and black sands of Stokksnes, creating opportunities for wide-angle photography, reflections, minimalist landscapes and dramatic light.
We may also explore Eystrahorn, surrounding waterfalls and quieter viewpoints, adapting our schedule to weather conditions. Image review and editing sessions are included when the itinerary allows.
Vík, Reynisfjara & Dyrhólaey
Our journey continues among black sand beaches, striking sea stacks and powerful Atlantic coastlines. We plan to photograph Reynisfjara, the landscapes surrounding Vík and the dramatic coastline around Dyrhólaey.
We will work with foregrounds, moving water, long exposures, changing skies and careful seascape composition. If nighttime conditions are favorable, we may head out to photograph the Northern Lights.
Farewell & Keflavík Airport Transfer
After an unforgettable week of photography, we return to Keflavík International Airport. The workshop ends with new memories, photographic knowledge and a collection of images from Iceland's extraordinary landscapes.

Iceland Photography Workshop FAQ
Everything you need to know before joining our Iceland Photo Tour 2027.

Yes. The workshop welcomes photographers with different experience levels. Basic familiarity with your camera is helpful, and we provide guidance on composition, exposure, filters and creative techniques throughout the expedition.
