What to Expect
This workshop is limited to just 3 people
All of our accomodation are hotel stays with each person having their own room and breakfast is included in all bookings.
March 7th-8th
After our arrival we will drive just over 90 minutes to our first hotel in Hella. We will get there in good time to check in, get some dinner and go for a sunset shoot. Sunset will most likely be this beautiful water beside you here if your looking at this on a laptop/desktop. Should we have clear skies, it will also be our place for shooting the Northern Lights on the first night.
March 8th-10th
The next two nights will be spent close to the town of Vík on the South coast. There are so many places to shoot around here, especially popular spots but also plenty of lesser known spots too. We will be staying at Hotel Katla just 5 minutes from Vik where there is plenty of places to eat, shops and have coffee.
March 10th-12th
We will spend the next two nights in the town of Hofn, on the South East of Iceland. We will stay in the new and beautiful Hofn Hotel.. From here we will be right beside the iconic Vestrahorn mountain, its little brother Eystrahorn and more! Hofn has some really nice restaurants for eating out in the evenings also.
April 22nd-23rd
On our last night, we will make our way back the town of Selfoss. We will stay in the Selfoss Hotel. This will be our last night and we will aim to get back here in good time to shoot sunset at Haifoss in the Icelandic Highlands on our last evening. From Selfoss we are only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Keflavik Airport and we will aim to be at the airport for 6am on the 13th. My flight home to Ireland is 7.40am.
All accommodations are single occupancy for everyone so no sharing rooms with other participants. We also have breakfast included every morning at each hotel. I will have us well placed to shoot the Northern Lights in some iconic locations. So be prepared, if the weather allows, to chase the Northern Lights!
I will arrive to Keflavik Airport at 2pm on March 7th, Please arrive no later than 3pm on the 7th. We will be back at Keflavik airport at 6am on March 13th. I have a new Land Rover Defender or Toyota Land Cruiser booked for this trip so this will give us maximum space, comfort and confidence driving in winter conditions.
There will be NO SET itinerary for this trip as I prefer to keep a close eye on weather forecasts throughout the tour to determine our destination and make sure we have the best possible weather that may suit a specific place. In my experience of spending time in Iceland, we always took it one day at a time as we were keeping tabs on the weather forecast and it worked a treat. We got some great conditions including amazing sunrises and sunsets most days aswell as amazing nights of jaw dropping northern light displays.
