Description

Discover Iceland’s wild northern beauty through your own lens on this customizable private North Iceland photography tour from Akureyri or Myvatn. Perfect for both beginner and experienced photographers, this full-day adventure lets you explore stunning landscapes with an expert local photographer by your side. 

Whether you’re learning new techniques or perfecting your craft, you’ll return home with incredible shots and unforgettable memories. 

Unlike large group tours, this private experience is all about you. Spend up to eight hours capturing Iceland’s stunning scenery at your own pace. If you already have a list of must-see places, your guide will design a route that fits your vision. If not, your photographer knows the area inside and out and can suggest the best locations based on light, weather, and your interests. 

Northern Iceland is a dream destination for photography. From the emerald green landscapes of Lake Myvatn to the mighty Godafoss Waterfall and the rugged cliffs of the Troll Peninsula, every turn reveals a new masterpiece. You might also stop by peaceful fishing villages, vast lava fields, or sweeping valleys where Icelandic horses graze under endless skies.

Your day begins with a convenient pickup from the airport or your accommodation in Akureyri or Lake Myvatn. As you drive through the northern countryside, the changing scenery will keep your camera busy. Views of scenic mountains, fjords, and volcanic plains make the journey part of the experience.

Since this North Iceland photography tour is fully customizable, there’s no fixed itinerary. You may spend time capturing the power of Godafoss Waterfall, where icy spray meets colorful rainbows on sunny days. Or you may prefer the calm, dreamlike beauty of Lake Myvatn, with its geothermal hot springs, lava formations, and bubbling mud pools that make for unforgettable shots.

You might also travel toward the dramatic Troll Peninsula, where snow-capped mountains drop steeply into the Arctic Ocean. Stop by one of the area’s colorful fishing villages like Siglufjordur or Husavik, known for its whale-watching harbor views. These charming towns offer perfect photo opportunities that capture both Iceland’s nature and daily life.

In summer, the bright green fields and wildflowers provide a vivid backdrop for your photos. In winter, the landscapes turn into a white wonderland of snow and ice. If you’re visiting between September and April, you might even catch the northern lights dancing across the night sky.

The tour lasts around eight hours, and the usual start time is 9:00 AM, though it can be adjusted to suit your needs. Your experienced photographer guide will also give you tips on how to capture North Iceland’s beauty.

After a full day of exploring and photographing Iceland’s northern wonders, you’ll return to Akureyri or Lake Myvatn with a camera full of amazing photos and a heart full of inspiration.
