Photo Tour Log - Iceland Travel Guide: Locations & Tours

Photo Tour Log

These Iceland tour logs include descriptions and photographs of many parts of Iceland from multi-day photo tours over several years. I try to give an honest view of the weather conditions and how the Nature is always boss.

These Iceland photo tour reviews are intended to help you plan the duration of your Iceland trip and to give you some Iceland location ideas.

January 2017 – South Coast & Jökulsarlon

Thick snow clouds is the same as pulling that thick duvet over yourself at the end of the day. The storm persisted into the morning and I actually delayed our start towards the Ice Beach because the wind meters …
July 2016 4 days Landmannalaugar – Jökulsarlon

This tour always planned to start with a drive to East Iceland through Landmannalauagar. This was a bit of a gamble because we were guaranteed rain.
August 2016 – North Iceland & Westfjords

This was a camping trip in mid-August. Temperatures are just about comfortable for camping with a good sleeping bag. The clear advantages are the flexibility.
June 2010 Jökulsarlon and East Fjords

This was a Summer photo tour around Iceland, but this post will look a the first couple of days including Jökulsarlon and the East Fjords.
August 2010 Landmannalaugar

We departed from Reykjavik and headed towards the interior to a geothermal area called Landmannalaugar, the natural gem in the southern highlands of Iceland.
August 2015 – 2 day Jökulsarlon late schedule

Summer days are long, so I timed this 2 day tour with a 14.00 start. This early August tour was along the South Coast as far as Jökulsarlon on day 1 and back along the South Coast to Reykjavik on day 2. Sunset was around 10 pm at Jökulsarlon and the plan was to shoot until 11 […]
March 2015 – photoshoot at Buðir

This tour log describes the final day of an exhilarating 8 day Winter photo workshop with a lovely group of photographers from Ireland. The tour had been a riot, we had some severe weather some great light, some magical auroras and a solar eclipse. Due to the promise of no sunrise on the final day, we had […]
Feb 2016 Ice cave photo shoot

This ice cave photo shoot was on the last day of our 5 day workshop, early February 2016. We arranged a special early trip to the ice-caves with our regular guides at iceguide. The ice caves have become extremely busy over the last few years and at this point of writing there are 4 companies […]
Winter Workshop Dec 2014

This was a 5 day workshop which started and ended with a storm and yet we seemed to be in the eye of the storm for 3 whole days in a fantastic location. Super Jeep Start For starters, we were lucky to get out of Reykjavik. We left Reykjavik in 2 jeeps with extra size wheels and met at […]
3 Summer Nights July 2014

This was a shared tour which was supposed to include 3 nights of shooting and 4 days of camping in the Vatnjökull region of South East Iceland. Checking the weather forecasts on the day of pick up make me change the plans, there was a huge rain system sweeping the country from East to West. […]
April 2014 5 day tour

This tour took us to the North of Iceland to catch some Winter waterfalls and the powerful Dettifoss before the big thaw.
May 2014 – 7 day tour

This was a tour which took us around Iceland at a time of the year when Winter turns into Summer, the deep snows melt gently revealing colourful herbs and mosses. Waterfalls are fresh and sparkling with the anticipation of Summer and the newly arrived migratory birds sing well into the long evenings.
September 2012 – 5 day tour

This post documents a tour of the South and Central highlands and Glacier lagoons at Vatnjökull. The article is written by Ian Kostrzewski who is Tony Prower’s brother. Tony Prower’s Northern light picture, featured above, was captured on the trip. All other pictures are Ians. Iceland Works. Everything works in Iceland; I don’t mean services […]
September 2013 – 5 day tour

This tour was a 5 day custom tour of Southern Iceland with special emphasis on the Vatnjökull region in the South East. In September, you can enjoy some summer weather and 4×4 mountain roads, with the possibility of Northern Lights. The days are long enough to fit several top locations in a single day. Highland detour Day […]
August 2013 – 6 night tour

I returned from this trip wearing only one sock. It was a rough trip with obstacles which might have ended the trip (if we had not been a bunch of optimistic campers). The main idea of the trip was to spend 3 days in the North of Iceland among the big waterfalls and geothermal stuff. […]
June 2013 – 7 Summer nights

Late June Summer night tour We had our itinerary planned to drive straight to the centre of Iceland, or at least to Hveravellir geothermal area. Unfortunately the weather featured a lot of rain and low clouds which made the idea pointless, so we decided to do the itinerary in revers order and drove towards Jökulsarlon […]
