Iceland small group map and highlights

“Take plenty of warm clothes, especially for northern lights shooting at night. Hand and foot warmers are a good idea if you have bad circulation or feel the cold in your extremities.” – Craig Hamilton on a Northern Lights holiday

“Be prepared to be flexible: the Icelandic winter weather can cause constant changes of plan. It may not be possible to do everything on the itinerary - but the leaders have enough local knowledge to find alternative places to go. Also, make sure you take lots of layers!” – Roy Hodson

“Do it, you won't regret going to such a beautiful place.” – Janice Burdon

“Pack for all weathers. The weather changed several times a day from bright sunshine, wind, rain, sleet and snow. Wellies or very good waterproof boots are a must. A second camera body saves time changing lenses in poor weather conditions. A good tripod is essential as is a camera bag well laid out. Hand cream for men is essential, especially if no females in your group. Prepare for every eventuality and you can spend more time out in the elements enjoying the scenery and taking fabulous photos. The trip can be exhausting with early mornings (sunrise) and late nights chasing sunsets and Northern Lights - but well worth it.” – Viv Gower on an Iceland photography tour

“Expect a lot of driving. But the landscape is fabulous and the minibus comfortable. The accommodation varies from good to very basic…The evening dinner is not included on most nights and everyone found very expensive compared to home. We all took the opportunity of a kitchen one night and had a great group meal with our own wine.” – Steve Shaw on a ten day circuit of Iceland
