Grímsey Island, off Iceland’s north coast, is the ultimate destination for photographing Atlantic Puffins—especially under the midnight sun and in flight. Its soaring cliffs, basalt columns, and lush vegetation create a stunning backdrop for wildlife photography. The island teems with seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, guillemots, and terns, along with occasional seals and whales.

NaturesLens, the first UK operator to run trips here, offers an exclusive six-day, five-night workshop during peak puffin nesting season. Staying in a guesthouse near the bird cliffs, participants enjoy 22 hours of daily daylight for unlimited photography. Expert guide Robin provides hands-on assistance to help capture breathtaking images of puffins and other Arctic birdlife.

As Iceland’s only Arctic Circle island, Grímsey offers dramatic seascapes, wildflowers, and unique Arctic light—perfect for creative photography. This trip is a must for serious photographers seeking unparalleled puffin shots and unforgettable midnight sunscapes.
