Description

Come home with more than memories: your private guide is also a professional photographer who captures the glacier, waterfalls and black-sand coast around your group.

This 12-hour Reykjavík departure combines Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, a guided Sólheimajökull hike, Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara. Glacier equipment and an edited photo package are included, while the private format gives the photographer room to respond to light, weather and your group.

The exact TourDesk inclusion currently specifies 30 edited photographs for groups of one to four or 45 for groups of five to six. Reconfirm the quantity shown in the booking terms before publishing because the provider page also displays a conflicting top-panel figure.

Itinerary

  1. Greater Reykjavík pickup: Meet the photographer-guide at the accommodation details confirmed during booking.
  2. Seljalandsfoss: Photograph the elegant waterfall and, when open and suitable, the path behind its curtain of water.
  3. Skógafoss: Experience the scale and spray of the broad 60-metre cascade.
  4. Sólheimajökull: Gear up for an approximately 2.5-hour glacier component and follow the guide towards photogenic blue ice, ridges and volcanic ash.
  5. Dyrhólaey: Use the clifftop panorama for coastal landscapes; puffins may be present in season but sightings are never guaranteed.
  6. Reynisfjara: Finish among black sand, basalt columns and sea stacks while following all guide and warning-light instructions around the waves.
  7. Return to Reykjavík: Relax on the private transfer while the photographer prepares for the later editing process.
