Monday 19 October

We’ll meet you at Keflavik Airport and begin our journey straight from the airport, heading towards the dramatic southern coastline. On the way to Vík, we pause to stretch our legs and warm up our lenses in the geothermal town of Hveragerði, then continue on to the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where we can walk behind the cascading water for a unique perspective.

Once we reach the charming coastal village of Vík, we check into our hotel for the night. As the sun begins to lower, we have free time to explore or capture golden hour shots from the picturesque viewpoint at Vík Church, perched above the village with sweeping views of the coastline.

Dinner this evening is flexible — enjoy a relaxed meal at the hotel, try one of Vík’s local restaurants, or take the opportunity for a quiet evening editing and reviewing shots from the day.

Accommodation: Private room in 4* hotel, Vik

Tuesday 20 October

We set out early to experience the serene beauty of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the nearby Diamond Beach at sunrise — a truly unforgettable sight as icebergs glisten against the black sand. With time to explore and photograph this incredible landscape, there is also an option to join a Zodiac boat tour on the glacier lagoon*.

After a break for lunch at the lagoon café, we return to the beach to catch the changing light and shifting ice formations in the afternoon.

We make our way back to Vík in the evening, with the option to enjoy dinner together at the hotel or take some personal time to relax and recharge.

We check out of our hotel and begin our return west along the coast. Our first stops are the powerful twin waterfalls of Skógafoss and the more hidden Kvernufoss — a favourite among photographers for its framed perspective and peaceful setting.

We continue on to Seljalandsfoss and the secretive Gljúfrabúi waterfall nearby, tucked away behind a rocky crevice. Time permitting, we may also be able to view a second DC-3 plane wreck near Eyvindarholt, less known but equally photogenic.

By late afternoon, we arrive in Selfoss and check into Hotel South Coast. The evening is free to explore the town, enjoy a local restaurant, or unwind ahead of the Golden Circle adventures to come.

Today we explore some of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. After breakfast, we begin with a visit to the colourful crater lake of Kerið, followed by the dramatic two-tiered Gullfoss waterfall and the erupting geysers at Geysir.

We enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant before heading on to the turquoise waters of Brúarfoss and the sweeping rift valley of Þingvellir National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with geological and historical significance.

We return to Selfoss for the evening, with time to edit, share work, or enjoy dinner at leisure.

After breakfast and check-out, we make our way into Reykjavík, stopping along the way if there are any last photography spots we want to capture. Once in the city, we have time to explore some of its architectural highlights, such as the striking Hallgrímskirkja Church and the glassy façade of Harpa Concert Hall.

Later in the afternoon, we drive to Keflavík and check in at our base close to the airport for our final night. The evening is free to relax, reflect, or enjoy dinner with fellow travellers one last time.

Sunday 25 October

After breakfast, we’ll transfer you to the airport for your flight home. You’ll leave Iceland with full memory cards, new friends, and a camera roll packed with unforgettable moments from one of the world’s most spectacular landscapes.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Breakfast is included each day and will be enjoyed at our hotels before we set off to explore. For lunches and dinners, we’ve kept things flexible to give you the freedom to choose what and where you’d like to eat.

We’ll make regular stops at supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants along the route, so whether you fancy a quick bite, a warm bowl of soup, or a sit-down meal with local flavours, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to refuel throughout the trip.

We recommend budgeting £50–£70 per day for meals, depending on your preferences.
