Peter Fischer knows Iceland like the back of his hand. His expertise in this part of the world means that you will have a more productive and insightful journey, with implications for the images you take home. He was always present and focused on our creative and technical process, ensuring that our questions were answered and any concerns quickly addressed. This was a very enjoyable trip, and I love the pictures I captured, some of which were new visions of old familiar places, e.g. Diamond Beach. Peter is a generous person and fun to travel with - I highly recommend him as your next trip leader!
My trip to the Faroes was amazing. We experienced so many weather systems during our week there, very strong winds, snow and some sunshine. Once you immersed yourself into an ever changing weather situation that is when you got the best photo opportunities. I have never used Amazing Views before but I found them very efficient and professional in my dealing with them for this trip. I have no doubt I will use them again in the future based on my recent trip to the Faroes.
Once again, we were able to experience a fantastic photo trip that fully met our high expectations. The photo guide Peter is an absolute Iceland expert who knows the country like the back of his hand. Iceland in winter is of course a challenge in terms of weather, but we still came home with excellent pictures. On the one hand, we were lucky enough to be able to photograph beautiful auroras on several nights, but on the other hand, Peter also took us to various very beautiful photo spots during the short day (4 hours of daylight) and gave us excellent support with numerous tips on image composition. We would definitely go on a trip to Iceland with Amazing Views and Peter again.
The photo trip to Iceland was a complete success. Fantastic snowy landscapes offered countless photo opportunities. I was able to take some breathtaking shots home with me. The choice of spots was fantastic, as the guide not only had a trained eye for photography, but also shone with extensive local knowledge. This gave us access to exclusive spots that were also off the beaten track.
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.
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.
‘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.
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.
The name "Amazing Views" was the program and accurate in every respect. From the announcement and organization 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 the fall played a major role. And they went perfectly with the impeccably organized 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 the fall in every respect, although basic photographic knowledge and a good level of physical fitness are an advantage.
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.
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.
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.

In September, autumn slowly begins in the Icelandic highlands, which means that the weather is cool but very changeable. Average temperatures are usually between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. At night, it can cool down to between -3 and 2 degrees, especially at higher altitudes. There is already more precipitation than in midsummer, with an average of 15 to 20 days per month. Showers are often short but can be heavy. The first snowfalls are already possible at higher altitudes. Fog and low-hanging clouds can occur in the valleys, especially in the morning. The wind picks up and stormy gusts are also possible. The nights become significantly darker, offering good chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
Iceland is one of the most active geological regions in the world, characterized by powerful forces of nature. It is precisely these natural phenomena that make Iceland a very special travel destination. With rapidly changing weather and often dramatic lighting conditions, fantastic photos are possible. The country is known for its geothermal activity, which is visible through geysers and hot springs. Northern lights and the midnight sun make the forces of nature visible in the sky. Our local guide is very familiar with the forces of nature in Iceland. Our daily program will be adapted to the current weather conditions and our route may be changed slightly to make the most of the photo tour.
You have a good basic level of fitness to be able to take part in short, moderate hikes. Depending on the weather, we will go on short, easy hikes of up to two hours.
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.
