In all our trips to Ingólfshöfði we spend some time watching and photographing the birds. However, some people come with very advanced and heavy camera equipment and need more time to work with their gear. Therefore we offer special departures for photographers at 6:15 on select  mornings from around mid June until early August. In earlier part of the summer we might add some evening tours as well.

The maximum number of people on each trip is 10 persons plus guides on our open departures. We concentrate on photography on this trip, so we don´t spend time on history explanations and normal sightseeing like on our Ingólfshöfði Puffin Tour. Of course private groups can have bigger numbers if requested. We recommend that only people that are into photography partake in the tour.

The trip is also available as private departure. Contact info@fromcoasttomountains.is for rates and availability.

The best time for puffin photography tours is after the puffins start to bring fish home to their burrows. Pufflings start to hatch from the egg in early-mid June, and the puffin activity increases more in July until early August when the parents have the chick big enough to leave for the sea and therefore do not need to bring fish home anymore. Normally it takes the parents about 6 weeks to bring enough fish for the puffling to be ready to fly out to sea.
