Grimsey: Land Of The Midnight Sun Tour

Experience the magic of the Arctic Circle on an unforgettable eight-day wildlife photography expedition to the remote Icelandic island of Grímsey. Timed to coincide with the Midnight Sun, this exclusive small-group tour offers the opportunity to photograph one of Europe's most remarkable concentrations of seabirds beneath the soft, golden light of the Arctic summer.

Home to around 200,000 Atlantic Puffins, Grímsey is a paradise for wildlife photographers. Alongside puffins, we'll photograph Arctic Terns, Northern Fulmars, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Red-necked Phalaropes and a variety of breeding seabirds, while keeping watch for humpback whales feeding in the rich waters surrounding the island. Native Icelandic horses and dramatic volcanic landscapes provide further opportunities to create diverse and compelling images.

Co-led by Kevin Morgans and David Gibbons, this expedition combines expert photographic tuition with an intimate knowledge of Grímsey and its wildlife. With a maximum of just five photographers, you'll benefit from personalised guidance, creative mentoring and plenty of time in the field, allowing you to develop your skills while making the most of every photographic opportunity.

A highlight of the expedition is an exclusive private RIB charter, giving us the chance to photograph humpback whales in their summer feeding grounds and experience the spectacular Icelandic coastline from a unique perspective. Combined with the endless daylight of the Midnight Sun and the relaxed pace of island life, Grímsey offers an immersive wildlife photography experience unlike anywhere else in Europe.

There are many places to photograph puffins, but few offer an experience quite like Grímsey. Sitting on the Arctic Circle, this remote Icelandic island is home to around 200,000 Atlantic Puffins, dramatic sea cliffs and the magical glow of the Midnight Sun, creating one of Europe's most extraordinary wildlife photography destinations.

While puffins are undoubtedly the stars of the show, Grímsey offers far more than a single species. Arctic Terns, Red-necked Phalaropes, native Icelandic horses and humpback whales all provide exciting photographic opportunities, while the island's volcanic landscapes and endless daylight create a spectacular backdrop for wildlife photography.

What makes Grímsey truly unique is the freedom to photograph beneath the Midnight Sun. With almost 24 hours of daylight, we can work with beautiful Arctic light long into the evening, slowing down, observing wildlife behaviour and making the most of every photographic opportunity.

For me, Grímsey is far more than a wildlife destination. It's a place to immerse yourself in the Arctic, embrace the rhythm of island life and create images that tell the story of one of Europe's most remarkable wildlife experiences.
