Become a visual storyteller under the guidance of your National Geographic-trained photography guide. You'll pick up invaluable insights on capturing the perfect shot, be it in terms of composition, lighting, or narrative.

After introducing the competitive element of the day, your guide will accompany you on the drive through Timanfaya National Park. During the tour, you'll get great views of Timanfaya's lunar landscapes, formed hundreds of years ago when a series of volcanic eruptions covered a quarter of the island in lava. Think rugged lava fields, brooding volcanic cones, and swathes of charcoal-grey ash. Stop at Islote de Hilario viewpoint to see the power of geothermal energy and enjoy the panorama.

Travelling on to the fishing village of El Golfo, you will find a jumble of traditional buildings and bright boats which contrast with the black sand beach and the unusual green lake. It's a perfect location for capturing contrasting colour.

Then, it's time to discover the ancient salt flats of Salinas de Janubio, another landscape saturated with drama and stark appeal. This area is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and an important bird sanctuary – cameras at the ready.

With a specialist photographer at your side, you'll gain new skills and fresh inspiration, plus a collection of striking images. As the day concludes on the terrace at Salinas de Janubio, unwind over a glass of wine or beer and a snack, while your photography guide reviews the day's photos and picks the winning shot.

Die Tour als solches ist sehr schön. Bei mir musste die Reihenfolg zwar geändert werden und einen "Fotowettbewerb" gabs auch nicht, aber das ist überhaupt nicht schlimm. Für einen ambitionierten Fotografen ist eher eine private Fahrt mit einem Mietwagen sinnvoll, da jeder der sehr viel Wert auf gute Fotos legt (Thema Wetter/Tagesauswahl und Zeit), damit besser bedient ist. Sehr nette und Fachlich kompetente Dame für die Fotoassistenz, so soll es sein!

Sehr sympathisches und charmantes Mitarbeiter-Team! Besuch des Touri-Hotspots im NP ist fotografisch uninteressant, da man nur aus dem Bus fotografieren kann. Der Ort selbst ist absolut sehenswert. Kein Fotolehrgang. Infos/Tipps nur auf Nachfrage. Kleine Gruppe, dadurch sehr angenehm.

Schade, dass der Bus getönte Fenster hatte, die nicht geöffnet werden konnten. Zum Fotografieren musste man aussteigen, was aber auf der Vulkanrundfahrt nicht erlaubt ist.

The guides were very nice and the tour was well structured (background information inside the bus and photographic background with nat-geo outside). It has a good balance between the cultural and photographic perspective. I used my DSLR (wich I would recommend), but its also possible to use a smartphone, because its more about the general ideas and methods of photography than exact camera settings.
