We’re going to the Faroe Islands...

Are you in?

Around the Waning Gibbous Moon...

From August 1st to August 7th 2026, Saviour Mifsud and Ramiro Torrents (PhotoPills Masters) will be traveling across the Faroe Islands to photograph the Golden Light (and the Moon) along with the soul of this hidden North Atlantic gem...

An archipelago of 18 igneous rocks lost in the middle of nowhere.

One of the most mystical sceneries on the planet!

Legends, fairy tales and unpredictable weather included :)

Of course, we’ll be taking photos all day long!

But...

Can you imagine it?

To photograph the Golden Light and the Moon along with giant sea cliffs, stunning rock formations, green roof houses, tall waterfalls, endless fjords, brave seascapes, remote lighthouses, beautiful lakes... And the always funny puffins!

We’re dreaming about it!

To achieve it, we’ll use the planning power of PhotoPills and the expert knowledge of Saviour Mifsud and Ramiro Torrents to always be at the right place at the right time.

Top secret: we have quite a few legendary photos planned already... Including a very special Moon shot ;)

The Adventure

12 PhotoPillers | 2 PhotoPills Masters | Faroe Islands | Endless legendary photos

Warning! This is not a honeymoon...

We’re recruiting 12 brave PhotoPillers (PhotoPills and photography nerds) to join us on a 7-day expedition to photograph the Golden Light (and the Moon) along with some of the most precious treasures hidden in Faroe Islands.

This expedition is a non-stop adventure to chase legendary photos and you are a key asset!

We have planned tons of photos, and we’ll travel many kilometers (and hike a few more) to capture them...

But we also want to maximize our flexibility in terms of itinerary and schedule in order to take advantage of all the opportunities that the changing weather will surely put in our way.

If we're fortunate enough to be out photographing the Sunset and it takes us into the late hours, we'll take a little extra sleep the next morning, skip Sunrise and kick start our day a bit later.

On the other hand, if the conditions make us skip the Sunset photography session, we'll rise and shine early to catch the Sunrise.

Whichever path we take, you can count on us to seize every photo opportunity and be right where the magic happens!

You are about to embark on a PhotoPills’ style journey. And it’s not going to be a honeymoon precisely... :P

You’ll be a true PhotoPiller!

Are you in?

Day 1. Saturday, August 1st - Welcome to the Faroe Islands

2:30 pm

It’s Saturday afternoon...

And you land at Vágar airport (FAE), the only airport in the Faroe Islands.

Welcome to the North Atlantic sea!

After you grab your luggage, head out to the main hall where you’ll meet Saviour Mifsud, Ramiro Torrents, and probably a few more PhotoPillers hanging around.

Once everyone’s ready, we’ll hop on our private ride and make our way to Tórshavn, which is the capital of the Faroe Islands.

Tórshavn is on the southern part of the east coast of Streymoy: one of the 18 islands that make up this Danish archipelago. It's home to over 21,000 people and definitely the liveliest spot in the country.

The town's been around since Viking times (around 900 AD), though nobody’s sure exactly when it was founded. The first settlers came over from Norway in longboats!

We’ll be staying at the stunning Hotel Føroyar, which will be our home base for the rest of the trip.

Once we’ve checked in, we'll grab a quick power nap (or as they say, a little "siesta") to recharge before things really kick off! :P

4:00 pm

Expedition briefing session.

Saviour and Ramiro will detail what to expect and discuss safety aspects, particularly crucial for the initial hike in the Faroes. Then everybody will introduce themselves, so we can get to know each other from the start..

5:00 pm

We swing by a local bakery and pick up something for dinner. You should maybe grab some water too. Tonight, we’re having dinner on a cliff overlooking the sea... Such a great spot!

Oh, and the Sunset’s at 10:13 pm, perfect timing!

6:15 pm

2:30 pm

We’ve made it to Sørvágsvatn, the biggest lake in the Faroe Islands. It’s pretty huge, about 3.4 km² (or 1.3 mi²).

There’s an easy to moderate hike to the 1st viewpoint of almost 3 km (1.86 miles), with 50 m (164 ft) ascent and 110 m (361 ft) descent one way.

Few places in the Faroe Islands are as dramatic as Trælanípa, the legendary “Slave Cliff.”

From this high perch above Lake Sørvágsvatn, the famous optical illusion reveals itself: the lake seemingly floating high above the ocean, with sheer cliffs dropping into the Atlantic and the horizon stretching into infinity.

The cliffs around here are massive, and the views? Totally breathtaking. But seriously, watch your step. You definitely don’t want to get too close to the edge.

The Sun’s still hanging out in the sky, slowly making its way west.

In the soft afternoon light, the entire landscape transforms. The cliffs glow golden, the lake shimmers with reflected hues, and the rugged contours of the terrain create natural leading lines that guide the eye straight toward the sea.

Positioning ourselves carefully at the edge, we’ll capture this surreal illusion from multiple perspectives: wide shots showcasing the drama of the cliffs, and tighter frames that emphasize the interplay of light, shadow, and shimmering water.

9:00 pm

As the day ends, we’ll head to Bøsdalafossur, where the vast waters of Lake Sørvágsvatn plunge straight into the Atlantic Ocean.

To get there there’s an easy hike of 788 m, with 50 m (164 ft) ascent and 40 (131 ft) descent one way.

So open PhotoPills, check where the Sun will be setting and choose your shooting spot:

This is one of the most dramatic scenes in the Faroes: a wild, untamed meeting of lake, cliff, and sea. From our vantage point, we’ll also take in sweeping views of Vágar’s rugged southwest coastline, and if the skies are clear, even catch a glimpse of Mykines glowing on the horizon.

As the Sun sinks behind Vágar’s mountains, the cliffs ignite with golden light, every ridge and rock face glowing warm against the deep blue of the ocean

The golden hour is beginning, and everything is aligning perfectly: the Sun will be sinking along the coast, right in line with those enormous sea stacks.

It’s the perfect moment to start shooting!

We’ll frame the waterfall as the centerpiece, letting the surrounding cliffs and shimmering water complete the story. Including the lake in our compositions ties the whole scene together: the journey of water from calm surface to wild cascade to open sea.

For creative shots, slower shutter speeds will soften the cascade into silky ribbons of light, while faster exposures freeze its raw power against the glowing backdrop.

Golden hour begins at 9:02 pm, Sunset is at 10:13 pm, golden hour ends at 10:53 pm, and blue hour ends at 11:23 pm.

11:00 pm

We hike back to the vehicle and drive back to the Hotel Føroyar.

1:00 am

Rest well my friends. The action has just begun!

Photographic pills:

• Infinite cliffs at Sørvágsvatn lake.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Bøsdalafossur waterfall.

Day 2. Sunday, August 2nd - The Witch Finger and the Fjords

8:00 am

Good morning!

We have a day full of adventures ahead of us.

So, get ready for breakfast at Hotel Føroyar.

10:00 am

Known as the Witch’s finger, Trøllkonufingur actually means the Troll woman’s finger.

It's a dramatic, pointy rock that shoots up 313 m (1,027 ft) straight out of the ocean and it’s located on the south-east side of Sandavágur. You can spot it from different parts of the island, and if you're lucky with the wind direction, it might even be one of the first things you see when you're flying in.

Did you know that only 11 people are known to have reached the top?

We’ll start the day here!

11:15 am

After a 20-minute drive, our next destination is the ancient settlement of Bøur on the west coast of Vágar Island.

Bøur is this little village on Vagar island, and it's got these amazing views of Drangarnir and Tindhólmur. Most people just pass by on their way to Gasadalur, but honestly, it’s totally worth stopping for. You can soak in the beauty and snap some photos of these super cute turf-roofed houses that are perfectly lined up.

We’ll actually be getting shots of four of the most iconic Faroese houses just outside Bour, with those incredible views of Drangarnir, Tindhólmur, and even Mykines in the background. It’s going to be such a great spot for photos!

12:55 pm

We’re back at the Hotel Føroyar where we’re going to have a delicious lunch and some time to rest.

3:00 pm

It’s time for an advanced PhotoPills class with Clément and Saviour!

Here we’ll go deep into the PhotoPills Planner tool to learn all its secrets... ;)

5:50 pm

It takes a 55-minute drive to get to Klaksvík, the second largest town in the Faroe Islands after Tórshavn. It’s located on the island of Borðoy, further north.

Here, we’ll have dinner in a local restaurant.

7:30 pm

Not far away, in Klakkur, there is a stunning lookout over the fjords. But to get there, we need to hike up to the lookout.

There’s an easy to moderate hike to the lookout of 2.4 km (1.5 mi) hike with an elevation gain of 277 m (908 ft).

We’re not in a hurry, so take your time!

9:00 pm

We finally made it to the top! Just look at this view, it's absolutely amazing.

To the left, that's Kalsoy Island. And if you check out the right, there’s Kunoy.

Oh, and check this out: the Sun is setting over Kalsoy. Who’s going to be brave enough to jump in for a photo and give us some scale for the shot?

Once the Sun goes down, we’ll head back. You never know what cool photo opportunities we might stumble upon on the way.

Take this shot here as a perfect example:

Golden hour begins at 8:58 pm, Sunset is at 10:09 pm, golden hour ends at 10:49 pm and blue hour ends at 11:19 pm.

11:35 pm

We go to a final spot... During the blue hour the town lights and lid up houses make a beautiful contrast to the mountainous landscape which starts to fade into the night.

1:00 am

It’s been a long long day.

But finally, we made it to our Hotel Føroyar.

Time to rest to get ready for tomorrow’s adventures.

Photographic pills:

• Morning shots with the Witch Finger.
• Daytime shots at Bøur with Tindhólmur and Dranganir.
• View of the Fjords from Klakkur.
• Sunset and golden hour over Kalsoy from Klakkur.
• Mystic shots on the mountains hiking back from Klakkur.
• Blue hour shots of Klaskvík with the artificial lights and the mountains.

Day 3. Monday, August 3rd - Waterfalls and Puffins

6:15 am

Wake up!

Today, we’re heading to Mykines island to meet one of the most beautiful bird species in the world: the Atlantic Puffin.

7:00 am

Breakfast at Hotel Føroyar. Don’t forget to grab your lunch box! Today we’ll have lunch on the puffin island.

9:15 am

We’re taking our first boat of the adventure (a few more will follow). We’re crossing the north Atlantic sea towards Mykines, the puffin island.

Note: If the weather is rough, the ferry to Mykines might be canceled for security reasons. If this happens and we unfortunately can't make it to Mykines, our Masters will definitely make good use of that time. They might either take us to some interesting locations in the area and back to a few spots we’ve already visited (but the conditions weren’t ideal) or delve deeper into some post-processing techniques.

10:00 am

This island is something else. It's a photographer's dream!

It’s kind of like a mini version of the Faroe Islands, with its towering cliffs, endless coastal views, and, if there’s been a lot of rain, waterfalls everywhere.

Mykines is this tiny island that’s home to one of the largest puffin colonies in the world. There are just 40 houses and only 15 people actually live there year-round.

For half the year, the only way to get there is by helicopter, which really adds to the whole remote vibe. So as you can imagine, the best time to go is in the summer.

Let’s go on a guided tour, which gives a nice intro to the island.

11:30 am

After our walk around the village, we have lunch in the field, among puffins and green seascapes. The best is yet to come!

12:00 pm

Since we’re in summer, you’ve probably noticed that there were plenty of tourists with us during the guided tour.

Don’t worry, though! After the guided tour, most of the crowd heads off to the Mykines village (and its turf-roofed houses).

That’ll give us plenty of time to hang out and snap photos of the puffins in peace... ;)

4:00 pm

Before we take the boat back to Vágar, we’ll have coffee and cake in the little coffee shop in Mykines village.

6:00 pm

On our way back, we find ourselves contemplating (and photographing) the view of the stunning Tindhólmur and Drangarnir (the arch).

The Sun is still up in the sky. But we hope to have some diffuse light if some clouds come to the rescue.

7:00 pm

We’ll grab a bite at a nearby café. It’s nothing fancy and there aren’t a ton of choices, but it’ll be a quick pit stop to refuel before we head out for our Sunset session! :)

8:30 pm

We're on our way to the village of Gásadalur, and guess what? There's a gorgeous waterfall called Múlafossur waiting for us!

Before 2004, getting to this super remote spot was quite the adventure. You had to either hike over 700-meter mountains, take a boat, or even hop on a helicopter to get there.

Thankfully, they built a tunnel, which makes things way easier now!

Oh, and by the way, the entire village has a population of just 18 people.

8:50 pm

Open PhotoPills and check this out:

Golden hour begins at 8:59 pm, Moonrise (73.5%) is at 10:17 pm, Sunset is at 10:09 pm, golden hour ends at 10:48 pm, and blue hour ends at 11:17 pm...

So there is plenty of time to explore the area!

Use the PhotoPills Augmented Reality tool (and the Planner) to find your composition. And get ready for the light to come (or for the Sun to be at the right spot in the frame).

Hint: the Sun sets pretty close to the coastline, on the left-hand side, right in front of us :)

11:20 pm

Time to wrap up, let’s walk to the place where the bus is waiting for us.

12:20 pm

Off to bed!

In a few hours the Sun will rise again... And we’ll be there to photograph it!

Photographic pills:

• Puffins, seascapes on Mykines island (weather permits).
• Afternoon shots with Tindhólmur and Drangarnir (the arch).
• Sunset and golden hour and Múlafossur waterfall at Gásadalur.

Day 4. Tuesday, August 4th - Tindhólmur and Drangarnir

3:00 am

Rise and shine, photopillers!

Today’s an early morning Sunrise.

There is a beautiful Sunrise spot from the top of Sornfelli mountain, some 12 km (7.5 mi) away from Tórshavn.

And we don’t want to miss it, so we wake up, pack our gear and head to the bus.

4:10 am

Sornfelli is one of the tallest peaks on Streymoy, and it's not far from Tórshavn, the capital.

From up there, you get this incredible view over the narrow Kaldbaksbotnur fjord. Sometimes the Sun breaks through the clouds, casting these moving beams of light on the landscape below. It’s pretty breathtaking.

Oh, and here’s a fun tidbit: we’re actually near the Faroe Islands' only jail. Not many people end up there because crime is almost nonexistent here. But for those who do, at least they've got an amazing view to reflect on their choices!

Needless to say, for security reasons you won’t be able to fly your drone over this location.

Blue hour begins at 3:53 am, golden hour begins at 4:22 am, Sunrise is at 5:01 am, and golden hour ends at 6:11 am.

6:30 am

When the Sun is up in the sky, we’re in a different spot in Sornfelli.

The spot where we shoot from, right by the parking lot, has an absolutely amazing view! You get this full 360º panorama of the Faroe Islands, but the real showstopper is right in front of you: the massive Vagafjordur, which lies between Vagar and Streymoy.

Let’s capture our last shot before breakfast!

7:20 am

Breakfast at Hotel Føroya and down time.

12:00 pm

Lunch at the hotel.

2:00 pm

Post-processing class with Saviour and Ramiro.

The goal of the class is to show you the exact step by step workflow to edit your landscape images, to enhance them and make them pop!

4:00 pm

Grab your backpack, our next adventure is about to start!

4:40 pm

We make a quick stop at the supermarket to grab some food. Today we’ll have dinner by Drangarnir, the natural arch.

5:10 pm

We arrive at the small village of Sørvágur and take a zodiac to Tindhólmur, a really magical place.

Tindhólmur might just be the most breathtaking tiny island out there. Its name comes from its five peaks, each with its own unique name: Ytsti (Farthest), Arni (Eagle), Lítli (Small), Breiði (Broad), and Bogni (Bent).

Even though no one lives on the island, except for sheep and a ton of birds (including puffins that settle in for the summer) it’s still privately owned.

There's an easy to moderate hike, not long, barely 400 m (½ a mile) but quite steep a 40 m / 131 ft climb, and the ground is often slippery.

Getting a chance to walk on Tindhólmur is a rare treat. It’s something that 99% of people who visit the Faroe Islands don’t get to do!

8:00 pm

Another zodiac takes us to Drangarnir, two spectacular sea stacks located between the islet of Tindhólmur and the island of Vágar.

The most stunning sea stack is called Stóri Drangur. It’s the larger one and it takes a characteristic shape of an arch. The second sea stack is smaller, it’s called Lítli Drangur.

And right behind them, you’ve got the incredible silhouette of Tindhólmur, which just adds to the whole scene. It’s the kind of view you won’t find anywhere else, especially when the Sun sets and lights everything up.

By the way, taking a boat ride instead of hiking is a lifesaver. It spares you from a tough 2.5-hour trek each way over some hilly, and often muddy, terrain.

Golden hour starts at 8:56 pm, Sunset is at 10:06 pm, Moonrise (63.4%) is at 10:13 pm, golden hour ends at 10:44 pm, and blue hour ends at 11:12 pm.

11:05 pm

The boat takes us back to Sørvágur, and from there we head back to the hotel.

11:20 pm

Bed time!

Tomorrow is the Secret Day.

We have planned a lot of legendary photos for you. Stay tuned!

Photographic pills:

• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour at Sornfelli mountain.
• Iconic shapes and pools of Tindhólmur.
• Sunset and golden hour and at Drangarnir arch.

Day 5. Wednesday, August 5th - The Secret

I’ve been giving you lots of details of this amazing expedition to the Faroe Islands.

Maybe far too many...

But on August 5th we’ll visit a very cool location... :)

What will that be?

Well, you'll have to be there, with us, to figure it out :P

Day 6. Thursday, August 6th - The Moon, the Giant and the Witch

6:15 am

Good morning everyone!

The secret day was a great one, but we still have plenty of photos to take before we get back home.

Today it’s day 6... time flies, doesn't it?

7:00 am

After a good night's sleep, it’s time for an energetic breakfast. We have a 1h 10 min drive ahead of us, before we get to Viðareiði.

9:40 am

Viðareiði is this super charming village on Viðoy, the northernmost island, and it really shows off the wild, untouched beauty of the Faroe Islands.

It’s tucked right between two massive mountains, Villingadalsfjall and Malinsfjall, so you can imagine the kind of stunning views you get all around.

Only about 350 people live here, so it’s small but peaceful.

One of the first things we’ve got to check out is the church.

Built back in 1892, the church has that classic Nordic vibe. It’s got this black-tarred wood exterior, something you’ll see a lot in the Faroes since it helps the buildings survive the brutal North Atlantic weather.

The white-framed windows and doors really pop against the dark wood, and the grassy roof is such a cool touch, making it feel like part of the landscape.

The plan? Capture some pictures of the church with the mountains and sea as the backdrop.

10:45 am

We’re up now, near the edge of a cliff. Down, below us, Viðareiði and the fjords.

If we’re lucky enough to get some rain the days before the expedition begins, several waterfalls will be emerging in front of us.

Tip: It’s a great place for a drone shot too!

12:55 pm

Lunch at Hotel Føroyar.

3:00 pm

Now it’s time for a roundtable session.

The idea is each PhotoPills Master spends some time sitting down with 6 different PhotoPillers for 15 minutes each.

During that time, you can ask about anything related to photography, whether you need advice, feedback on your photos, help planning shots with PhotoPills, or even a bit of guidance on editing your images. It's totally up to you!

5:55 pm

We get to our next destination: Risin og Kellingin.

The Risin og Kellingin sea stacks, steeped in Faroese legend, are located off the northern coast of Eysturoy, near the village of Eiði. These dramatic rock formations, representing a giant and a witch turned to stone, rise majestically from the sea, framed by the rugged coastline and the open Atlantic.

From the ideal perspective of the Eiði viewpoint, we capture these iconic landmarks against the open sea, using the surrounding cliffs and ocean as complementary elements. Including the grassy foreground or some of the streams adds context and depth. The interplay of light, water, and rock creates timeless compositions with the dramatic cliffs of the Faroe Islands as a backdrop.

6:55 pm

We have a quick dinner on our way as we need to drive to our next destination so we’re in time for the golden hour!

8:15 pm

We’re at Tjørnuvík, right on the black beach at the northern tip of Streymoy.

The big mission? We’ve got a killer Moon shot (41.2%) planned that we can’t miss.

But, honestly, there’s so much more to enjoy here before we hit that Moon magic moment! :)

It’s actually the perfect spot to snap some amazing sunset shots of the sea stacks, Risin og Kellingin (yep, the Giant and the Witch).

Risin, the Giant, stands tall at 71 m (232 ft), and he’s the one furthest from the shore. Kellingin, the Witch, is 68 m (223 ft) and the one closest to the coast, looking like she’s standing with her legs apart.

Now, why are they called the Giant and the Witch?

Well...

There's a whole legend behind these two sea stacks from way back in Faroe Islands lore :P

And it goes something like this...

“A long, long time ago, a very powerful Chief witch in Iceland had a big idea. He sent a giant and his wife, who was also a witch, to the Faroe Islands. Their mission was quite tricky: to tie a huge rope around a big mountain called Eiðiskollur and pull the entire Faroe Islands all the way to Iceland!

When they got there, it was getting dark. They tried really hard to tie the rope around the mountain, but it wasn't easy. The first time they tried, part of the mountain even broke off. But they didn't give up and kept trying all night long.

Now, here's something important about giants and witches: they can't be in the sunlight, or they'll turn into stone. That night, they were so busy with their work that they didn't notice the sun starting to rise. And guess what? As soon as the first rays of sunlight touched them, they turned into stone!

So now, these two stone figures, the giant and the witch, stand near a place called Eiði. They're still there today, looking out towards the sea, thinking about their home in Iceland. If you ever go to a village called Tjørnuvík on Streymoy Island, you can see these huge stone figures for yourself! It's like they're frozen in a really cool story from a long time ago.”

Long story short...

If the Giant and the Witch had gotten their hands on PhotoPills, they could have totally planned ahead to disappear before Sunrise. That way, they wouldn't have ended up turning into stone! :P

9:45 pm

The perfect time to capture the Moon (40 m or 131 ft) lining up with the Giant and the Witch is finally here!

Now, we just have to hope the clouds cooperate so we can actually get the shot.

But we’ll be there, right on schedule, with our gear set and ready to capture that epic moment.

Plan & Pray!

Golden hour begins at 8:51 pm, Sunset is at 10:00 pm, Moonrise (41.2%) is at 10:01, golden hour ends at 10:38 pm, and blue hour ends at 11:06 pm.

11:55 pm

It’s been a long day, but we’re finally enjoying the comfort of our beds at our hotel... hopefully dreaming of the Moon, the Giant and the Witch.

Rest well my friends.

Photographic pills:

• Church of Viðareiði and Viðareiði village.
• Fjord and Viðareið village from a lookout.
• The Moon aligned with the Giant and the Witch during golden hour.
• Sunset and golden hour at the black beach of Tjørnuvík with the Giant and the Witch.

Day 7. Friday, August 7th - The Farewell

3:15 am

Today we’re going home but this trip is not over until the final whistle.

Let’s chase our last Sunrise together!

4:00 am

We start driving to our last shooting spot of the expedition...

For Sunrise, we’re going to capture that famous windy road leading to Norðradalur. The Sun will be rising behind us, which is perfect because we can use the road as a cool, eye-catching foreground, and the little island Koltur in the background will light up beautifully.

The Sun finally rises (5:09 am) and as usually, we’re ready.

At the right place, at the right time...

Our final moments in the Faroe Islands are upon us...

Blue hour begins at 4:05 am, golden hour begins at 4:32 am, Sunrise is at 5:09 am, and golden hour ends at 6:18 am.

6:40 am

Time for a nice breakfast and to finish up packing our luggage.

11:30 am

After checking out, we start driving to the airport.

As this adventure comes to an end, it's hard not to feel a bit of everything, you know? Gratitude, nostalgia... It’s tricky to put into words how much this place and the connections we’ve made really mean.

These islands have completely captured our hearts. From those dramatic cliffs to the crystal-clear waters, it’s like we’ve been living in our own slice of paradise.

Saying goodbye isn’t easy. How do you walk away from the laughter, the deep talks, and all the moments that left us in awe? It’s not something you can just leave behind.

But as we pack up and say our farewells, there’s comfort in knowing these memories are ours to hold onto, forever imprinted in our minds.

A huge thank you to the Faroe Islands. This isn’t a final goodbye, just a promise that we’ll be back.

Until next time my friends, don’t forget... The journey isn't over yet!

Do you want an example of how huge this will be?

This is a glimpse to what happened in the 2016 PhotoPills Expedition to Iceland. We had so many adventures and so much fun... We can’t wait for the Faroe Islands!

But you don’t have to take our word for granted. Here’s what some PhotoPillers say about the PhotoPills adventures:

“I went to Iceland expecting to have the opportunity to photograph the marvelous landscape and master nightscapes. What I encountered was so much more – 14 kindred souls from across the globe who share a passion for photography. Together we expanded our creative boundaries, learned from one another and had an insane amount of fun in the process. I am confident that everyone came away from the experience a better photographer.”

“From the very moment the guys from PhotoPills announced the expedition to Iceland... I didn’t think it twice! I was using PhotoPills but not at its full capacity, so I had no better chance to learn from the creators of this amazing app. The experience was even more amazing than anything I could have imagined. In Iceland, I discovered a bunch of folks as crazy about photography as I am. I had a blast!

Photography is a continuous learning process, you always find something new that motivates you to improve. And this adventure made me improve more than I could imagine.”

"The PhotoPills guys know how to create a fantastic experience. They bring an infectiously fun energy and are always willing to drop some handy photography knowledge on you that you will take with you. You take their trip and you'll for sure have a good time, get some amazing pics and leave a better photographer."

“During my experience in Iceland I lived wonderful moments and had surprises that were beyond the expected. It completely exceeded my initial expectations! Sharing knowledge, experiences and ways of working and living photography with such a great group has been one of the most enriching life experiences I have ever had.

Who he said that learning and knowledge sharing can not be wonderfully fun?”

“I can't say enough about what a fantastic time I had during the PhotoPills Iceland photo tour! The guys from PhotoPills and Donal Boyd were so knowledgeable, accommodating, and especially lots of fun. Never a dull moment – nonstop action and shooting of amazing landscapes for 10 days. I came away with enough images and memories to last a lifetime!”

FAQs

What’s the temperature in the Faroe Islands in August?

August is a very nice month. Temperature varies depending on the area but you should expect the range to be between 9ºC (48ºF) and 13ºC (55ºF).

According to statistics, August typically has an average of 13 days of rainfall. Although it’s one of the driest months, it’s likely to rain.

It’s key to wear different layers of clothing (base, middle and shell layers) to be able to adapt to any temperature change and rain.

What do you recommend I bring along for the expedition?

Your sense of adventure and fun, your camera and of course your sense of humor.

Besides that? Once you book your spot, we’ll send you further details and suggestions about what to bring (gear, clothing, etc.).

Is travel insurance included in the price of the expedition?

No. Participants are suggested to purchase national or international medical and travel insurance coverage.

Also, we recommend you to choose a travel insurance that:

• Covers trip cancellation costs.
• Covers Covid-19 health, travel and cancellation costs.

What is the cancellation policy?

We hope you don’t need to cancel your spot, but if a situation arises where you don’t have a choice, our cancellation policy is the following.

If you choose not to join the Expedition, a cancellation fee may apply. This fee will be equivalent to the cost of the Expedition, minus any savings or additional income we generate
if we’re able to fill your spot with another participant.

If we’re able to fill your spot, we’ll refund the payments you’ve made, deducting a €300 administrative fee and any non-refundable costs retained by our travel partners.

However, if there are unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances at the destination or nearby that significantly affect the execution of the Expedition or the transportation of passengers to the destination, no penalty will be applied, and we will refund all payments you have made toward the Expedition.

Refunds will be paid by the same method that the original payment was made.
