FUERTEVENTURA PHOTO TOUR & WORKSHOP
10 Days of Landscapes and Astro Photography.
28th April - 7th May 2022
for only €650
Wake your creativity senses up with amazing photography.
Make new friends and discover starry Fuerteventura Island.
Fuerteventura is the oldest and the wildest island of the Canary archipelago. A few kilometers only from the African coast, has preserved its nature and its uniqueness. Desert areas extending a few steps from the most visited places of the island, colours their landscapes with orange tones. Blue sea, white of the foam waves, and eroded mountains. Fun and entertainment but also peace, relaxation and nature.
Discover Corralejo Natural Park and its spectacular dunes of fine white sand and clear waters. While the beaches in Fuerteventura are of stunning golden sands and turquoise sea, don’t go thinking that Fuerteventura is all about sun, sand and sea! While it is a photography tour and workshop, you'll still have your own free time to take a break and reset your body and soul.
Fuerteventura's night sky was recently designated the third Starlight Reserve in the Canaries with little light pollution.
Depending on weather conditions, you might be able to marvel at the Milky Way! Besides star gazing, this workshop and tour gives you the unique opportunity to explore the world of
Astro Photography!

Get There
Enjoy!
The only photography workshop tour that gives you full control and flexibility by providing the great workshops, and tours which include transport and like-minded photography travel pals. You just book your flights to get there. Then book the hotels of your choice where we will be travelling through, or use my recommendations.
Don't forget, you are also on holidays and may want some time for yourself. Apart from the workshops where we work and travel together, there is sufficient rest & recreation time included for your own thing. Or if you prefer, hang out with me for meals, drinks and company. Whatever you decide, is cool for me! Unlike the other tours I have organised, you will be spending a lot more time as a group so it is important that the
'right profile' participant joins us.
The
Fuerteventura photography workshop tour requires us to get up early before sunrise to be the first to visit some areas as this is when we have the best light and less crowd. There will be a few late nights for those who wish to try their hand in astro photography.
Needless to say, you'll get better deals the earlier you book your flights and hotels.
