A photographic journey through the otherworldly landscape of Iceland, touring the country both by day and by night.
After exploring the capital city of Reykjavík, our small group will depart on an overland journey, heading south through the Golden Circle with visits to a lava cave, hot springs, and the stunning Bláfjöll Mountains.
This trip is designed to take you to some of the best locations in the world to see the Northern Lights. For two nights, we will sleep in traditional Icelandic guesthouses situated in small countryside towns—the perfect destinations for viewing and experiencing the Aurora Borealis.
Only in Iceland can you enjoy a personal encounter with the one-of-a-kind Icelandic horse, see some of the world’s largest glaciers, and watch a geothermal geyser explode near a waterfall—all in one day.
Whether you are a photography pro or just enjoy taking cool shots with your phone, our Matador photo instructors will work with you during informal photo walks and mini-workshops to take your personal travel photography to another level. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about underwater and nature photography.
