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 5:55 most Wednesday  mornings from mid June until early August.

The maximum number of people on each trip is 10 persons plus guides. We concentrate on photography on this trip, so we don´t spend any time on history and normal sightseeing like on our Ingólfshöfði Tour.

The trip is also available on every mornings except Sundays 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. Chicks start to come out of egg in early June, and the puffin activity increases more and more until sometimes before mid 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. The first puffins already lay the egg in late April and can therefore leave already in July (it also takes the puffins about 6 weeks to hatch the eggs before they need to start bring home fish for another 6 weeks to the chick. Fortunately the bigger number of puffins are nesting later, and the last of them leave Ingólfshöfði for the winter on the sea around 20th of August.
