5 nights / 6 days

2'850 € to 3'250 €

This 6 days photo trip takes you through the most beautiful places on the East and South Coast of Iceland. From famous waterfalls and not so well known gems, to the town of Höfn and famous Vestrahorn Mountain, the vast black sand beaches, majestic East Fjords, and of course the Ice Cave tour inside of Vatnajökull Glacier. During the trip we will travel in two 4x4 vehicles and visit some of the best known places, and also less known gems of the South. If the forecast will be promising, after dinner in the very best hotels on the South Coast of Iceland, nightly Aurora hunting will begin and we will photograph the beautiful scenery we saw during the day in the light of the Aurora Borealis.

Important

• Reserve your flight on time. When reserving, pick Keflavik International airport as a final destination. Numerous airlines fly to Iceland on a daily basis from all over the world. Icelandair has very good connections with U.S. and Europe, and in my opinion, it's one of the best airline companies today, check out their Stopover up until 7 days
