Welcome to the first day of your photography workshop in Iceland. First things first, you will be picked up from your accommodation by your experienced guide and transported along the charming South Coast in a comfortable and spacious minibus. With just a solitary glance, you’ll realise why this area is immediately popular with visitors.
Your first stop will be at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, famed for the small cave that sits behind the cascading water. An accessible track around the falling water allows photography lovers the opportunity to capture this feature in a truly unique way.
A short distance away is Skógafoss, a wider waterfall that creates enormous bursts of mist as it smashes into the rocks below. Guests can choose to photograph this fall either from the base, or they can ascend the adjacent staircase to capture it from above.
Soon, you will arrive at Dyrhólaey Peninsula, an area that was once detached from mainland Iceland but is now known as its southern tip. The Peninsula provides truly staggering views over the South Coast, as well as the opportunity to both snapshot nesting Atlantic Puffins and the gigantic rock arch that sits beneath the promontory.
You will also be paying a visit to the black sand beach Reynisfjara, renown for its staggering rock formations as well as the charming nearby village of Vík í Mýrdal. Whilst here, you will have the chance to photograph both, with your guide making sure that you manage to snapshot the iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks.
Your day will conclude with the continued journey towards Skaftafell Nature Reserve, passing black sand deserts and towering mountain peaks as you do. Once you arrive within the National Park, you will have a short opportunity to take pictures before checking into your accommodation for the night.
