Tour Itinerary
From my experience of running over 30 photography tours, having a fixed daily itinerary is limiting your chances of going home with the best possible images.
I like to work with the weather as much as possible and visit locations based on the current weather conditions. As an example, you can drive through a tunnel where on one side it’s clear blue skies and the other side there’s a blizzard.
Each evening I will “plan” the next day and let everyone know what time we’ll be leaving the next morning. This ensures that I’m putting you in the right place at the right time.
The tour starts from Vágar Airport (FAE), Faroe Islands. When looking at flights, please arrive no later than 5PM on arrival day. If your flight arrives after this, drop me a message and I will help you as best I can.
If you are travelling the day before, just let me know so I can arrange to collect you.
Day 1 – Arrival Day
This is the arrival day, I’ll be collecting everyone from the airport. Depending on what time everyone lands, we will squeeze in a sunset shoot. We’ll get settled into our accommodation for the next week and run over the “plan” for the week. Retiring early for our start the next morning.
Day 2 to 7 – The Adventure
This is where the real adventure begins.
Over the next 6 full days we will be photographing at every opportunity we can get. We’ll be getting up early every morning (regardless of weather) to be on location 1 hour before sunrise, after each sunrise shoot we’ll head for breakfast before heading to our next location.
Each sunset location, we’ll be there roughly 2 hours before so that we can each scope out our sunset composition.
On the final evening, we’ll head out for our final meal together where we can look back on our amazing week together.
Day 8 – Departure Day
Goodbyes are forever, I’ll be saying see you later as I hope you’ll join me on another adventure. We’ll head to the airport where everyone can catch their flights home.
Accommodation
As part of my Faroe Islands Photography Tour, I’m absolutely delighted to be able secure an idyllic beachfront house located in the charming village of Sørvágur, just 0.9 miles from the airport. Set at the end of a stunning fjord, this accommodation provides the perfect sanctuary to unwind after your daily photography adventures.

Breathtaking Views: Wake up to incredible views that look down the fjord, leading your eye towards the iconic Tindhólmur. The view from your room is nothing short of beautiful.

I recently took part in the Senja 2024 February Trip, and it was truly incredible. Not only were we blessed with incredible weather conditions, but Tyler's dedication was exceptional. He goes above and beyond to ensure his workshop exceeds expectations. Tyler is genuinely easygoing, and chatting with him about photography, or anything else for that matter, was an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Tyler. I look forward to crossing paths again someday! Best regards, Philipp
My trip to Senja with Chasing Light Tours was fantastic, the locations were great and the guiding first class. A real shout out goes to the choice of accommodation - comfortable and convenient with photo locations right on our doorstep!

FAQs
Atlantic Airways is the Faroe Islands national airline. They have flights from Edinburgh every Monday & Thursday. Keflavik: Mondays and Fridays. Daily flights from Copenhagen.
No, my photography tours and workshops cater to all skill levels. I will provide personalised instruction to help you improve your photography skills, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced photographer.
I recommend bringing a DSLR or mirrorless camera, various lenses (wide-angle, telephoto), a sturdy tripod, extra batteries, memory cards, weather-appropriate clothing, and comfortable walking shoes. A full packing list which includes recommended camera gear and clothing for winter in Norway will be emailed to you after you book.
The meeting point will either be at the airport in Edinburgh if you’re on the same flight as me, or in the entrance hall at Vagar (FAE) airport at 5pm.
The trip will end after a sunrise shoot on the 17th April with dropoffs to the airport at 11am.
I’ve booked a 5 bedroom beachfront house located in the charming village of Sørvágur, just 0.9 miles from the airport. Set at the end of a stunning fjord, this accommodation provides the perfect sanctuary to unwind after your daily photography adventures.
No, all tours are self-catering.
There isn’t a great choice of restaurants on the island, or they’re closed during off season. We will go to supermarket everyday or every other day to gather what’s necessary for the coming days. Supermarkets are closed on Sundays. Every day I advise to bring lunch and snacks to eat throughout the day.
This tour involves moderate physical activity suitable for more fitness levels. Many locations are within a 15 – 20 minute walk from the car but there are locations that require hiking of up to 2 or 3 hours to get there. You must be able to walk on uneven, sometimes steep and icy ground.
I would recommended to budget at least £30-£50 per day. Everywhere accepts cards, so cash is not necessary.
You need to check your carrier. If coming from the UK I advise you to turn off your mobile data before boarding the plane. I also highly recommend getting an e-sim purely for mobile data. I did this last year and it was such an easy process.
