Fly into Keflavik International Airport and transfer to Reykjavik. Use the evening light to explore the city: the old harbor, Harpa Concert Hall, Hallgrímskirkja Church , and colorful rooftops. Capture sunset along the coastline and plan for long exposures near the sea if conditions allow.
Depart early to catch morning light at Þingvellir National Park, where the sun casts deep shadows across fissures and rock formations. Move on to Gullfoss and Geysir, timing your stops to avoid harsh midday light. The day ends with sunset near Seljalandsfoss, with possibilities for backlit waterfall photos.
Travel along the South Coast, visiting Skógafoss and the dramatic cliffs at Vík. Photograph basalt columns, sea stacks, and waves crashing on black sand. Late afternoon and evening offer chances for aurora photography if skies are clear.
Head toward the southeast to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. Icebergs floating on dark water create stunning reflections. If available, explore an ice cave — the textures, colors, and light inside are deeply rewarding. Sunset shots at the lagoon are unforgettable.
Venture into Iceland’s rugged highlands (weather permitting) or explore recent lava fields. Capture dramatic geology, lava formations, and remote vistas. Evening can be spent chasing Northern Lights from a dark-sky location.
Return toward Reykjavik with stops at hidden locations suggested by your guide. Use this last day to review your shots, revisit a favorite spot, or try something you missed earlier. Final sunset photo opportunity before your private transfer to the airport.
