The adventure of all adventures awaits you on this extraordinary photo tour. On this 9-day Iceland photo tour, we discover the beautiful Icelandic highlands with a comfortable 4×4 super jeep. An Icelandic guide accompanies us on this tour, and we visit many lonely and remote natural wonders in the Icelandic highlands. We spend the days in absolute solitude and without other tourists, enjoying and photographing the unique landscape.
For those who want to get away from hustle and bustle, the Icelandic highlands are a completely new experience. The mountainous interior with its rocky deserts, rugged peaks, ice caps, volcanoes, hidden valleys and hot springs forms an awe-inspiring and untouched wilderness. The Icelandic highlands amaze us with the raw forces that lie dormant in nature and have created it. The noise of human settlements is far away. There is not much vegetation and not much life here. Some areas are completely barren. But the earth itself becomes active and produces breathtaking works of art from stone, sand, ice, steam and water.
On this photo tour Iceland Highlands, you have the opportunity to expand your portfolio with great photos of the breathtaking Icelandic highlands.

Do you want to experience a great trip where you can fully concentrate on taking photos and experiencing wonderful moments? Then Amazing Views is the right place for you. Everything was perfectly organised on our Lofoten trip. Jenny and Cody looked after us wonderfully throughout the whole trip. Thanks to them both, we got the best out of the most varied weather conditions. As a great bonus, I was able to meet some wonderful new colleagues during the week. To summarise: we had a wonderful time with lots of unique pictures....you guys are amazing.
Those who are not afraid of windy, damp and cool weather will be rewarded with the most spectacular, wild and lonely coastal landscapes in Europe on the Faroe Islands. Bernard, the professional photographer and guide from Ireland who knows the Faroe Islands inside out, and Jenny Brühlmann from Amazing Views are the best guarantee that every participant will take home the maximum number of experiences and great pictures. The fact that fun is not neglected is the icing on the cake.
Thanks to Jenny and Cody, despite the bad weather we were always in a place where the sun provided a great lighting mood for a short time. Jenny and Cody are a well-rehearsed team who took care of everything for us so that we could concentrate on taking pictures. The tips and tricks on image composition and editing were also very valuable. I can highly recommend the photo trip to the Lofoten Islands with Amazing Views. I'm looking forward to the next photo trip with you.
The name ‘Amazing Views’ was the programme and true in every respect. From the announcement and organisation of the trip, to the choice of accommodation, the tour guide and the choice of locations, everything was perfect. Of course, the weather and the chosen time of the trip in autumn played a major role. And they went perfectly with the impeccably organised photo tour. The size of the group was very pleasant and allowed everyone to be looked after according to their individual needs. The tour participants' suggestions and wishes were also taken into account. I can recommend a photo tour with Amazing Views to the island of Senja in autumn in every respect, although basic photographic knowledge and a good level of physical fitness are an advantage.
What a fantastic trip. The Faroe Islands offer incredible photo opportunities: jagged cliffs, waterfalls, blue fjords, wild and rugged coastlines and ever-changing weather and light moods. Together with the perfect organisation by Amazing Views and the friendly tour guide Jenny and Bernard, it was an unforgettable week. I would book again in a heartbeat.
‘Unknown Norway’, this year for the first time as a photo tour in the Amazing Views programme, was very well organised and smoothly executed. The travel programme sent in advance with lots of information and detailed recommendations for packing lists and photographic equipment aroused my curiosity and expectations. In short, it was perfect: the planning and the photographic and travel support were highly professional and hitch-free. The group worked extremely well as a team and I enjoyed a great week with them. My special thanks go to Cody who generously looked after us all week, acted as a safe driver and took us to all the wonderful places I had never been before. It was my 4th photo trip with Amazing Views and once again my expectations were exceeded.
Thanks to the perfect photo guide with great knowledge of the location and weather, we were always in the right place at the right time and used the changing weather to our advantage. Epic locations and capricious weather made for great pictures and great experiences with thrills. The professional support and the ideal group size rounded off the harmonious overall package.
The photo tour "Unknown Norway" has an incredible number of photo highlights to offer. It was extremely varied and had many different subjects to offer. Thanks to the midnight sun, we were out and about a lot and were able to capture fantastic light moods with our cameras. The trip is not in the usual tourist areas of Norway and that makes it particularly attractive from my point of view. Once again, everything was superbly organized, as I am used to from my last trip with Amazing Views. Everything went very smoothly. I'm already looking forward to my next photo trip.
Today we drive east and stop at Langisjór. Langisjór is a lake in the highlands of Iceland. It covers an area of around 27 km² and is up to 75 m deep. It is about 20 km long and up to 2 km wide.
The lake lies in a very remote location on the south-western edge of Vatnajökull at an altitude of 670 m above sea level. To the west lies the Tungnaáfjöll, a little further west the Veiðivötn and to the east the Skáftarjökull. The long and narrow lake stretches parallel to the tectonic plate boundary from southwest to northeast, surrounded by high mountains. The most famous of these is Sveinstindur (1090 m). The surroundings of the lake are desert-like. A small river flows out of Langisjór and soon after flows into the Skaftá. There are numerous islands and peninsulas in the lake.
During the Iceland Highlands photo tour, you will stay in hotels that are ideally located close to the photo spots.
On the Iceland meteorology and weather site you can see the current weather conditions as well as the average temperatures and total precipitation throughout the year. This allows you to be optimally prepared for what to expect in Iceland. Safetravel warns you of current dangers regarding waves, wind and avalanches so that you can travel safely on Iceland’s roads and paths.
In the overview of all volcanoes in Iceland you can find more information about the characteristics, current situations and recent eruptions.
As a rule, earthquakes are only felt from a magnitude value of 3 and above. If necessary, check the earthquake list for the last 7 days.
You can find out more about the history of Iceland, its language and cuisine as well as informative key data on Wikivoyage.
The trip does not require any special physical requirements. However, you should be fit enough to take part in short, moderate hikes and be sure-footed. Depending on the weather, we will undertake short, easy hikes of up to one hour.
Due to the changeable weather in Iceland, you need to be prepared for all weather conditions. We therefore recommend breathable functional clothing based on the layer principle, which transports sweat to the outside without losing heat and dries quickly.
Single travellers can book half of a double room. If there is no other guest who wants to share the room, the single room surcharge will apply.
We strongly advise you to purchase insurance for cancellation and return journey costs, which will be needed in the event of a secluded region being evacuated, a local hospital stay or return travel costs to your home country.
