Ice Cave Tours

I visited Iceland in September. Our guides transmitted their photographic experience, as well as knowledge of the island, making very accurate recommendations regarding places and techniques. We visited the west coast and the south coast of the country. Transportation, meals and hotels were excellent. Our main objective was the Aurora Borealis, thanks to the climatic conditions, we saw them 4 nights in a row. It is an unprecedented celestial phenomenon, full of magic, spiritual and emotional. We had with us a great driver who was also a photographer and took us to some hidden spots great for photographing without people around. Personally I have participated in several tours guided by Iceland Photo Tours, they are great organizing every single aspect and their technical explanations are very clear. The itinerary was fantastic, and the team always helped us take the best possible pictures at the best locations. Totally recommended and waiting for the next one!

I thoroughly enjoyed the photo tour, notwithstanding the weather but that was to be expected! And we got that spectacular night of aurora.The itinerary was great, with flexibility based on weather (I still hear you shouting while on the cliff: “mammatus clouds, mammatus clouds!!) and shooting conditions as they arose.The accommodations were very good as far as I was concerned, considering the remote locations involved. The food, to my surprise, was very very good!! Even better than the food we had in our Disney Fantasy cruise last year!!You and Thor were excellent guides, looking after and helping each participant hands on, lending photo equipment to help enhance or salvage their photography (too bad about the damaged equipment, happens to everyone eventually).Your lectures were very informative and the photos used were very inspiring. The group composition and size were great and made for a fun experience; loose and carefree demeanor. I like what John said, but not just any 2 Puerto Ricans, but those 2 Puerto Ricans. Overall the trip: “great bang for the buck!”, Iceland is awesome, I plan to come back and perhaps join the inland tour next year.I signed up for the October Tuscany trip.Congratulations on your obvious success with your career so far, good luck on your future endeavor, maybe our photographing paths will cross again!

In February, I experienced Iceland through my camera lens while on a photography excursion with Iceland Photo Tours. In eight days, I learned bold, new photography techniques such as wave painting, long exposure and the use of graduated neutral density filters while immersing myself in Icelandic culture and the natural wonder of the country’s winterscapes, volcanic beaches, icebergs, glaciers, and northern lights. Our amazing instructors took care of every detail including transportation, accommodations, meals, plus they constantly monitored the weather and adjusted our schedule accordingly. They were knowledgeable and passionate about photography, photography equipment and about Iceland and provided guidance and suggestions that helped me capture some of the most stunning photographs in my portfolio. I returned with a wealth of information and ideas that I can use every day to photograph the world around me. If you are looking for ordinary hop-on-the-bus-and-stop-to-photograph-a statue instruction, then this workshop is not for you. But if you want to expand your worldview and your understanding of light, composition, visualization, creativity, and overall photography technique, then I highly recommend it. I cannot wait to travel with Iceland Photo Tours again.

Iceland Photo Tours was magnificent beyond my wildest dreams. First, I cannot say enough about our tour guides.They made the whole trip for me. They took as much time teaching you best practice shooting techniques and showed proper ways to shoot. They held nightly workshops to learn at what we shot for the day. Iceland Photo Tours is a top-notch organisation, and I would recommend to anyone from beginner to professional photographers. We had a small group of photographers which gave us undivided attention when shooting.I never have taken such beautiful images. You are guaranteed to see sights, terrains, and even Ices Caves. No doubt I highly recommend this tour!!
