Itinerary

This is the preliminary itinerary from the travel agency, and it may change depending on the weather and ice. Because of the time of year we’re travelling in, there’s a chance to capture the Northern Lights in the evenings.

 

Day 1 (06/09/2027) – Flying From Keflavík To Kulusuk And Sailing To Tasiilaq

We meet at Keflavík International Airport in the afternoon and fly to Kulusuk in Greenland (included). From the airport it’s an easy walk of about a kilometre down to the harbour while the luggage goes ahead separately, and from there two private boats take us to Tasiilaq, a 45 to 60 minute crossing. Tasiilaq is home for the next six nights, at Hotel Angmagssalik. A light dinner waits at the hotel, and if the sky clears we keep an eye out for the northern lights.

Day 2 (07/09/2027) – Hann Glacier In Johan Petersen Fjord

Our first full day on the boats. We head into Johan Petersen Fjord towards Hann Glacier, working the icebergs and islands along the way, with a chance of whales there and back.

Day 3 (08/09/2027) – Knud Rasmussen Glacier & The Remains Of A US Airbase

We sail up Ammassalik Fjord for about an hour before turning into narrower, steeper fjords. Northwest of Tasiilaq, the United States ran an airbase from 1942 to 1947, code-named Bluie East Two, and what’s left of it still lies around Ikateq. Further on, two calving glaciers come into view at once: Karale on the left and Knud Rasmussen straight ahead. We go ashore close to Knud Rasmussen Glacier for one to two hours before sailing back to Tasiilaq.

Day 4 (09/09/2027) – Ammassalik & Ikasagtivaq Fjords

A day on the water in the Ammassalik and Ikasagtivaq fjords, looking for icebergs and whales. If the ice allows, we go much deeper into the fjord system.

Day 5 (10/09/2027) – Tasiilaq On Foot

A day on land. There’s time to walk the Valley of the Flowers and other trails right outside Tasiilaq, and time for some editing sessions. Sunset and, with luck, the northern lights after dark.

Day 6 (11/09/2027) – Ikasagtivaq Fjord To Tiniteqilaaq

We sail along Ammassalik Fjord and through the deep Ikasagtivaq Fjord to Tiniteqilaaq, a small settlement on a peninsula above Sermilik Fjord, where huge icebergs drift past. We spend about two hours there and eat our packed lunch on the shore. Whales are common in the Ammassalik fjords from mid-July to the end of September, so keep a long lens handy on the way.

Day 7 (12/09/2027) – Aputsiaq Glacier Ice Cave & On To Kulusuk

We leave Tasiilaq and head out into open water past a lot of big icebergs, with a chance of humpback, minke and fin whales. At Aputsiaq Glacier a trained glacier guide takes us into a 40 metre deep ice cave, with helmets and crampons supplied. The boats then drop us in Kulusuk for the night at Hotel Kulusuk, with sunset and, if it clears, a last chance at the northern lights.

Day 8 (13/09/2027) – Kulusuk & Flying Back To Iceland

A last day in Kulusuk. Our luggage stays at the hotel while we explore the settlement and the area around it, with lunch at the hotel and an editing session if there’s time. In the evening we walk to the airport and fly back to Keflavík (included), landing at about 21:45.

What’s Included?

  • Flights between Keflavík International Airport & Kulusuk in Greenland, taxes included (Good to know: at €1800+ these are very expensive and hard to obtain, which is why we include them)
  • 6 nights at Hotel Angmagssalik in Tasiilaq and 1 night at Hotel Kulusuk, in single rooms with private facilities
  • Full board: breakfast on days 2-8, lunch from day 2 to day 8 (packed on the boat days, at the hotel on days 5 & 8) and dinner on days 1-7
  • The private boat transfer from Kulusuk to Tasiilaq on day 1, with luggage transfers
  • Private boat charters on two boats, with six participants and one workshop leader per boat
  • The ice cave visit at Aputsiaq Glacier with a trained glacier guide, helmets & crampons

What Are The Physical Requirements?

While this trip isn’t physically challenging, there’s some hiking with elevation gain, and the trails can be uneven and slippery depending on the weather. Tasiilaq itself is steep, so getting around town means plenty of uphill walking. The ice cave visit on day 7 means walking on glacier ice in crampons and a helmet, both supplied, with a trained glacier guide.

What Photography Experience Level Should I Have?

We welcome all photography experience levels, going from beginners to experienced photographers. A good mix of experience levels means we can also learn from each other.

What About Drone Flying On This Photo Workshop?

You don’t need a drone on this workshop, but if you’re bringing one, make sure you’re already well practised at flying it. We take off & land from small boats a lot, so practise launching and catching it by hand, and general control & navigation, before you arrive. You don’t need to have taken off or landed from a boat before. Workshop participants also get a discount to the Drone Photography Masterclass after signing up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Leads This Workshop?

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove and James Popsys, for twelve people. Twelve photographers on a boat in good light is a lot of people wanting a hand at the same moment, and with two of us somebody is always free. You also get two very different ways of seeing a place, which beats two people telling you the same thing.

How Do You Get To Tasiilaq?

Fly from Keflavík to Kulusuk, walk about a kilometre down to the harbour while your luggage is taken there for you, and take a boat for the last 45 to 60 minutes. There are no roads here and boats are the only way in. Most of what we photograph for the rest of the week is reached the same way, by private charter, and those are in the price instead of sold to you as extras. Day 5 and the last day are spent on foot around Tasiilaq and Kulusuk.

Where Do We Stay?

Six nights at Hotel Angmagssalik in Tasiilaq and the last night at Hotel Kulusuk, both in single rooms with private facilities. Meals are included from dinner on the first evening to lunch on the last day, with packed lunches on the boat days.

Why Are The Flights From Iceland Included?

At 1800 Euro and up they’re expensive and hard to get hold of, and putting the whole group on one aircraft on one day isn’t something to leave to chance. Your international flights to Iceland are still yours to arrange. The flight to Kulusuk leaves Keflavík in the late afternoon, so be in Iceland the night before rather than connecting on the day, and plan a night near Keflavík after we land back late on day 8.

Will We See The Northern Lights?

There’s a good chance. September brings the dark back to East Greenland after the summer, so the nights are long enough to be worth staying up for. Whether the sky plays along is out of anybody’s hands. Jeroen has written a full guide to chasing & photographing the northern lights if you want to turn up knowing what to do with one.

Can I Fly A Drone There?

Yes, under Greenland’s rules, which aren’t Iceland’s. Jeroen has written about flying a drone in Greenland in detail. What to practise beforehand is hand launching and hand catching. We take off and land from small boats, often, and a boat is a bad classroom. Participants get a discount on the Drone Photography Masterclass after signing up.

What Is There To Photograph Besides Ice?

More than people expect. Calving glaciers and a 40 metre deep ice cave, yes. Also Tiniteqilaaq on the edge of Sermilik Fjord, the settlements of Tasiilaq and Kulusuk, and what’s left of Bluie East Two, a Second World War US airbase. This is a landscape with people in it and a fairly hard history, and that’s part of the week too.

How Hard Is It Physically?

Not challenging, but there is hiking, some of it with elevation gain, and the trails are uneven and can be slippery depending on the weather. The ice cave means walking on glacier ice in crampons and a helmet, both supplied, with a glacier guide. Tasiilaq itself is steep, so getting around town means plenty of uphill walking. Most of the week is spent on boats. If you can manage a few hours on a rough path in bad weather without it ruining your day, you’ll be fine.

What If This Workshop Is Full?

Join the waitlist below and you’ll hear first when a spot opens or new dates are announced. The Greenland workshops page has everything else that’s running, and Jeroen writes a report after each one, which is the closest you’ll get to seeing a week before you book it.

What Previous Participants Had To Say…

Choosing the right photography workshop is about more than just visiting iconic locations. It’s about experience, safety, timing, and personal guidance. Below you’ll find honest reviews from photographers who have joined Jeroen on landscape & drone photo workshops in Greenland. These testimonials reflect real experiences in small groups, hands-on instruction in challenging conditions, and the level of care Jeroen aims to bring to every workshop.

I had a great week exploring East Greenland with Jeroen. He was always on hand to offer photography tips, both on location and in presentations beforehand. This was really useful so that we could put what we learnt into practice when we were out shooting. We were joined by James Popsys, who has a very different style of photography, focussing more on the human element. Everything was organised perfectly, and on almost every boat ride we got to see at least one whale.

Returned from a wonderful sailboat photography trip to Scoresby Sound in East Greenland with Jeroen, and it exceeded my expectations. The care over organisation was excellent. The week was fabulous, the scenery incredible, and we had a wonderful encounter with polar bears. I am not a drone photographer, but that was not an issue as there are always other photography opportunities and Jeroen would include all of us in whatever could be seen. The sailboat, the food and the company were all excellent. I would love to go on more trips with Jeroen and cannot recommend this one highly enough.

Have just returned from East Greenland with Jeroen, and what a trip. From the pre-trip organisation and the day one briefing through to the final farewell eight days later, Jeroen offered a superb experience with a great group of people. As a non-drone photographer I was a little apprehensive about the focus of the photographic opportunities, but even when the drone benefits were evident, Jeroen made sure non-drone photographers were a focus, with boat positioning or alternative advice. I am already looking at future workshops with Jeroen to this remote area that he knows so well.

I did the Greenland drone and photo workshop with Jeroen in June 2026 and it was an incredible experience. Jeroen taught us all so much, and the other participants made it a really fun time too. Having travelled from the other side of the world, it can be daunting to put your trust in a leader, but I would not hesitate to recommend a workshop with Jeroen. I learned so much and can’t wait for the next one.

My first workshop with Jeroen, to West Greenland, and I had a fantastic time. His attention to detail was clear from the moment I signed up. When six of the eight of us didn’t receive our baggage, he worked tirelessly behind the scenes to sort it out and keep the workshop on track. Much of the week was spent photographing from boats, with cameras and drones, around the Ilulissat Icefjord. Most of us were nervous about launching and landing drones from the boat, but Jeroen took the time with each of us to build the confidence to do it. I’d spent under an hour flying my drone before the trip and came away with images I’m thrilled with. Over five days we saw dozens of whales feeding and breaching, and some incredible icebergs. I’d highly recommend a workshop with Jeroen and will definitely book another.

Rich P.West Greenland Photo Workshop (June 2026)
“

This was my fifth workshop with Jeroen, and I keep coming back for his attention to detail, his planning and back-up plans, and his desire to help everyone get better. The West Greenland trip started with a challenge when six of us, Jeroen included, had missed baggage, and he kept everything running smoothly while coordinating to track it all down. Much of the workshop was spent on a boat chasing whales and photographing with our drones. Several of us weren’t comfortable taking off and landing from the boat, so Jeroen made sure every person got the help they needed each time. That individualised attention is what I truly admire about him.

Went on a second trip with Jeroen, this time to West Greenland in June 2026. Jeroen is a very good person and he takes care of his participants. He has developed a great trip to Greenland over years of building relationships in the country. We photographed hundreds of whales via boat - sometimes at extremely close range. Jeroen’s team within the country got us into position over and over again and were very happy to follow his direction. Also, we had delayed baggage and Jeroen worked hard to get the bags to us - more effort than most tour leaders would deliver. We utilized drones quite a bit and most of us on the boat ended up having Jeroen land our drones, especially in the heavier waves. Without complaint Jeroen became an air traffic controller several times during each boat excursion. He also put us into great positions to photograph icebergs. Jeroen is caring person whom you can trust. Highly recommend him.

I spent 8 days on a workshop led by Jeroen to Western Greenland. My experience was absolutely delightful from end to end. Given the limited infrastructure in Greenland, Jeroen as a planner had anticipated so many "what ifs" that he always had an alternative plan if/when something came up. His attention to all the details for our trip was amazing. The accommodations, food, transportation, and activities were all superb. As a teacher he was patient and supportive. He also worked hard to create unique photographic opportunities for us - both landscape and wildlife. His passion and enthusiasm is infectious, as is his sense of humor. As a woman in my 60's, I always felt so safe with him as our leader. I also spent a day with him up in the highlands of Iceland where he worked tirelessly to put us in the best position(s) and in the best light and helped me capture the most insane landscape shots with my new drone. Jeroen is a wonderful human being and great fun to be with. I definitely plan to go on another of his fabulous workshops in the near future!

Fantastic workshop in West Greenland! Very well organized and planned to make the most of an epic photography journey in this unbelievable polar enviroment. All was great, from accommodation, to food, and to all the locations we visited, between icebergs, glaciers, and small local village and settlements. I have to thank Jeroen and Mads for their great work. Apart from being exceptional photographers and share their knowledge to us, they really made their best to give us a truly enjoyable and amazing experience. As a group, it was really great fun to expend time with other committed and passionate photographers, and, above all, very nice people.

Ten Stars. OK, Twenty Stars. A phenomenal journey and experience. Jeroen was beyond my expectations. Way beyond. His knowledge of the area Western Greenland) and photography (drones and camera) was superb. I highly recommend any trip with Jeroen. Seriously. Just go. You won't regret it.

Jeroen is a top-notch pro photographer and will be my go-to for any future photo workshops I do in Iceland/Greenland. Don't hesitate to sign up for any of his workshops. He's legit. I've been with him on 2 photo trips now, and I'm sure I'll be on more in the future!

Jeroen really cares about the experience that you have on his workshops. He has impeccable organisation and communication prior to and during the workshop. Jeroen actively sought feedback afterwards, which demonstrates to me that he is constantly working towards providing the best experience for participants. He handled one difficult situation that came up unexpectedly on this trip with grace and made sure the impact of this on the group was minimal. The photographic opportunities we had in East Greenland were incredible. As a total newbie to drone flying, I felt supported and encouraged to venture out of my comfort zone and as a result, I learned so much and captured some amazing photos that I am really proud of. The crew of the boat was fantastic, making sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. The food was excellent. All of these little touches curated by Jeroen made this workshop an incredible experience beyond taking photos.

Just finished my third workshop with Jeroen on a sail boat in East Greenland. Again a fantastic experience. These workshops aren't only about improving my drone and photography skills, but I also learn about exciting parts of the world. Since my last two workshops, I have continued to explore the places that Jeroen first showed me. This might not be so easy in East Greenland! Again, I highly recommend Jeroen's workshops - they are probably some of the best available.

Just returned from back to back workshops with Jeroen (Aerials and East Greenland) and can highly recommend his workshops! I appreciate how he provides highlights of each photo location and is consistently asking “how are you doing”. Staff and food on the Greenland sailboat was outstanding! Finally, he makes the trips fun! I will attend more!

I am delighted to recommend Jeroen for his exceptional leadership and expertise in conducting photography workshops.
I recently had the privilege of participating in a photo workshop in Greenland lead by Jeroen, and I can say without reservations that he has a rare blend of photographic talent and organizational prowess. Jeroen is a master photographer, and generously shares this knowledge with workshop participants. Whether it's mastering the technical aspects of photography or exploring creative compositions, Jeroen provides invaluable insights that elevate the skills of all the participants. His meticulous planning and organizational skills are unmatched; the workshop was flawlessly executed, with every detail thoughtfully considered. He fostered a collaborative environment where participants felt free to ask questions, experiment, and learn from one another; always providing positive feedback and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend Jeroen for any photography workshop or related endeavor. His passion for photography, attention to detail, and outgoing personality, make him an outstanding leader.

Jeroen’s and Mads’ West Greenland Workshop was simply the best photo workshop I’ve ever attended. The days were full from dawn to dusk and even later for nioghtime photography. Jeroen and Mads made themselves available during any free time for coaching, editing and general questions. They focused on hands on coaching for each of us in the field. Workshop logistics were seamless, transport via coaches and boats were in good condition with competent crews and were ready when scheduled, accommodations were very good. I look forward to joining Jeroen and Mads again in the future.

Somehow five stars doesn’t seem sufficient! What an amazing week with Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove and Mads Peter Iversen in one of the most photogenic locations I have ever visited. Nothing challenges an organiser’s ability like a cancelled flight, but even though we were delayed by a day in Reykjavik, Jeroen managed to pack in all the planned activities in to the remaining 5 days, starting with a six hour sunset boat trip through the magnificent bergs of the ice fjord. And that was just the start, every day there were new adventures and new locations. With so much to photograph, we all called on the expert guidance by Jeroen and Mads - from finding pleasing compositions in the chaos of the ice or life in the tiny settlements, to aerial HDR panoramas with the drones - the boys were always on hand to offer advice and suggestions (and to rescue my drone as I tried to land it where our boat had been 20 minutes earlier)!

Andy and Jeroen are true professionals in every sense, with a passion for photography that is infectious to the group. I felt challenged to explore styles of photography that pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone, and having their guidance as well as the group to share ideas with helped me grow as a photographer. Andy seems to have a knack for creating an inclusive environment around him that brings the group together, inspires, builds friendships, and elevates the experience to an enjoyable and unforgettable one. Jeroen is very knowledgeable, easy going, and talented photographer and it was a pleasure spending the week with him. I truly cannot recommend highly enough.

I was fortunate to accompany both Andy Mumford and Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove to Ilulissat, Greenland. I've done guided photography tours before, but this was without a doubt the most enjoyable experience. The comradery of the group combined with the positive attitude and humor of both Andy and Jeroen was fabulous. Lodging + food were a step above what I was expecting and were memorable experiences in and of themselves. Zero regrets and while in Greenland, I discussed what other tours I could add my name onto the waitlist for. Recommended without hesitation.
