This 90-minute private photo flight takes you far beyond Skaftafell and into Iceland’s remote highlands, offering the time and freedom to photograph a wide range of dramatic landscapes. Highlights may include the braided riverbeds, the outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull, the turquoise waters of Langisjór, the iconic Mælifell volcano, colorful rhyolite near Landmannalaugar, and rugged crater formations such as the “Nameless Crater” area.

With extra time in the air, your pilot can position the aircraft carefully around multiple features, adjust altitude for optimal angles, and make the most of changing light — ideal for photographers seeking a diverse collection of images in one flight.

All photo flights are operated as private charter flights aboard our Cessna 207, a high-wing aircraft with openable windows that provide unobstructed views. Although the aircraft seats up to five passengers, 1–3 passengers is ideal for flexibility, maneuverability, and the best photographic results.

Before departure, you will review your preferred route with the pilot. Depending on weather and visibility, your pilot will help choose the most rewarding photographic path across the highlands.
