Exploring Wild Iceland with Local Guides: Road Trip & Itinerary

Come with us, & 2 local guides, on a 7 day road trip through some of Iceland's most spectacular waterfalls, glaciers and epic hiking as we chase the northern lights. Our 7 day Iceland itinerary was put together by Moment (the photography folks @shopmoment.com) (video is not sponsored) who were offering a trip of a lifetime - a week in the Icelandic wilderness with a professional photographer. I signed up because it looked amazing and the thing I most wanted to see: THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. This Iceland vlog takes you along with me and 9 other photo enthusiasts to explore some of the wildest parts of Iceland and chase the northern lights. 📩 BOOK VIP MODE: Get perks you won't get booking yourself.
