Iceland drone trip

Taking Johan’s drone trip was a game changer in my droning skills! I learned and improved so much on the Malta drone trip. Johan puts in a great deal of effort to pick the finest drone spots and the best villa for our learning sessions. Highly recommend for any skill drones to improve upon your photography skills with Johan’s great coaching! 💪

Now that I’m back home, I realize this trip was much more than learning how to fly my drone. It was an adventure that included so much more, the whole trip is focused on you enjoying every moment, the conversations with your companions, relaxing in a spectacular villa, enjoying delicious dinners by our chef.

In short, it’s a trip that includes holidays, constant learning, non-stop fun and memories for a lifetime … And all of this with Johan making sure that you don’t have to worry about anything and that you can just live the moment 🙏

Next to composition and the right timing, I’ve learned that it’s all about pushing your own limits and trusting your gear. The knowledge, adventures & people you get to meet are really worth the trip.

Intimate moments in a lodge with nice expendables droners looking for animals, droning, teaching, sharing and good laughs and food in the wild.
Awaiting the season 2 of it to go back.

Thanks Johan

Going to Mauritius on a drone adventure trip with Johan was an amazing experience. Johan made sure we were introduced to a variety of locations and different challenges. This trip has made me open my eyes to photography in a new way. Having post processing sessions between shoots, really helped me understand the process and meta that I had been lacking. I would definitely go on another trip in the future!

I got a lot more than I anticipated. I was immediately met with challenges, flying in complex situations and over the ocean, shooting with a model next to a tall waterfall. However Johan was always there to reassure and guide me. Besides all the photo opportunities, Johan made sure that we were indeed on a holiday. We enjoyed the natural thermal baths and our chef served excellent Italo-Azorean food in our beautiful villa. I will remember this trip forever! 😍

The trip was very well organized. We had long days with a great mix of drone flying, workshops, relaxation time, and good food. Every evening ended with an excellent dinner. Thanks to Johan, you gain a lot more confidence. You learn how to start or land the drone in your hand and what to do when you lose the signal.

Because of this workshop, I want to fly more with the drone and explore new places. It was great to meet people from different countries who share the same passion. With Johan’s coaching and workshops, you think much more about how to compose a picture and video.

The perfect way to level up your drone photography and video skills! In a small group of drone-minded people, you get to see the most beautiful places on the island! We also spent several hours at sea to capture amazing footage of dolphins and whales. Everything was organized in the best possible way. Just chill, relax and enjoy the ‘Drone Adventures’!

Joining Johan’s drone adventure in Mauritius turned out to be an adventure of a lifetime. Each day was a whirlwind of excitement and learning, from conquering majestic mountains to chasing breathtaking waterfalls and so much more. The thrill of capturing stunning aerial footage of whales during our whale expedition was unparalleled, and filming from a catamaran cruise redefined my perception of seeing the world through the lens of a drone. If you want to elevate your drone game, then Johan’s trip is a transformative experience you will enjoy 💪

I have been using the drone for years but Johan’s courses are the perfect mix to increase your knowledge. Beautiful locations to practice with Johan attentive and ready to advise you. Fantastic accommodation where you can relax and have dinner together in the evening after perhaps watching the videos you filmed. Johan helps you overcome your limits and introduces you to observing the world from another perspective.

Unmissable experience, thanks Johan. Surely I will join you in another of your adventure!

An amazing lifetime experience, where I enjoyed the process of learning sooo much. By day 2, I already felt a lot more confident. I like the whole concept of the trip; land & ocean adventures, enough time to practice, workshops at the villa and connecting with other enthusiastic droners. Johan is a great coach and motivated me to go beyond my comfort zone. I can’t wait to join again for more golden memories! 😍

When I saw that Johan released the safari drone trip in South Africa – I booked immediately! I couldn’t miss this chance! ☺️

I learned a lot – it was a perfect mix between both flying drones, but also workshop lessons where we went through settings and looked at the photographs we took during the trip! It was great fun meeting people from all over the world, who share one’s interest in drones and the photo results from this trip were incredible! 😍

From the luxury villa with the chef to the drone locations and activities – everything was planned to perfection. I learnt so much on the first day alone. Johan’s planning, knowledge, expertise, guidance and patience is unparalleled. Returning home with amazing memories, new friends and some insane drone shots from the incredible island of São Miguel, Azores. Whale watching with the drones was the absolute highlight.
A once in a lifetime experience 😍 – I’m already thinking about my next drone trip and you should too!

It was a very good and well organized trip. A perfect mix of flying, education, joint analysis of photos and exchange of experiences.

A good time with great people! 😍

Through 6 days of intense droning I gained a lot of confidence in handling tricky situations, because Johan is always around to help. We worked with models, launched the drone from a boat, always chasing the ‘money shots’ and editing them in Lightroom. I met like-minded people from different countries and had a lot of fun. Johan is always in the best mood, being our tutor, guide, host and driver. I’m definitely joining again!

The drone trip with Johan makes you want to wake up at 5.30am each day to not miss the perfect lighting for your shot. Amazing landscapes, a lot of useful tips and practice, great teamwork – all while creating lifetime memories. A perfect example that sometimes you can mix work with pleasure 😍

Mauritius has been my second trip with Johan. The island offers you all kinds of magical experiences: paradisaical beaches, mountains to climb, whales, dolphins and all this surrounded by a group of people with the same hobby & goal: traveling, having fun and flying our drones to capture those  beautiful moments and remember them forever. Are you joining for the next drone trip? 💪

The drone trip with Johan was an enriching experience on so many levels. Not only did it surpass my expectations in terms of learning the usage of drones, but added so much more to my overall understanding of capturing with a bird’s eye view! However, the trip is not just about that, it is a holistic experience – amazing companions, engaging conversations, soulful times, visits to beautiful places, unexplored treks, amazing dinners and a lovely place to stay in! The week gave me so much and I cannot recommend this experience enough! Thank you, Johan!

What? Testing the wind resistance of your drones and fly in various locations in Sao Miguel! This is what Johan offers, in an intense and friendly way from golden hour to sunset, either on a beach or at the top of a mountain. You will practice various situations of droning, and have good time and memories with friends. Pro or beginner, should you want to improve your skills then go with him! 💪
See you in next trip Johan

Without hesitation or mental reservation, I suggest you add Johan’s Drone Adventures to your bucket list, or the starting of the same. After completing my third adventure, I can offer some in-depth insight. Your droning competencies will not hinder what you will gain after an adventurous 6 days. I can assure you Johan will meet you at your skill level and deliver you to new heights. Why 3 adventures so far, because Johan is committed. I am confident, you will be extremely satisfied to what Johan can deliver, in his means.

Thrilling, mind-blowing, awe-inspiring, hair-raising, life-changing, exhilarating, astonishing, impressive, phenomenal, mind-bending, surreal, once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable, otherworldly, heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping drone experience. Thank you Johan and the rest of the group ☺️🙏 ¡Hasta la próxima!

The Azores adventure in May 2021 was a magical trip. I had more fun pushing my limits that week than in a year of droning over flatland.

Johan will show you how! Johan was our amazing guide, teacher and cheerleader, training us with his wisdom and insights across an amazing, intense 6 day adventure across São Miguel. We – of course – came away with epic photos, but also better skills, great memories and new friends. Join the club!

From showing us the best timing and lighting in the field, to workshopping photos and videos on-screen, Johan does it all !!! There is no limit to the people who can and should join Johan – he will personally coach you to your level of skills and comfort, and then expand on them. I found amazing like-minded people and pushed my limits enormously. The only hesitation in recommending the trip, would be that others could take up my spot, if I don’t sign up quickly enough! ☺️

Dronetrippin’ with Johan was amazing. He showed all the best drone spots and had many tips and tricks to share! Only one question remains … when can I go again!

My friends wanted to give me a great gift for my birthday! I’ve been passionate about drone photography for several years. So they gave me this trip to the Azores. It was a bull’s-eye! I learned a lot and gained self-confidence in flying, composition and photo editing. The trip itself was a great adventure, filled to the brim with interesting places. It made me re-discovered the Azores again.

Great organization, good coaching and workshops, lots of new tricks for both standard and FPV drones. I wholeheartedly recommend this well-mannered Belgian. Johan knows how to use drones at the higher level.

Johan‘s trips are packed with a wide variety of activities that will inspire every pilot to think outside the box when it comes to composition and how to get great shots. Flying in different environments and different (weather) conditions significantly increases your confidence in just 1 week. The limited number of participants allows for individual coachings and skill improvement as well as group workshops (e.g., photo editing).

Great people, great trip (and great food/drinks) – as a famous Austrian colleague would say: I‘ll be back!

The Azores drone trip was so good on so many levels, I immediately booked to go on the Mauritius trip. The high bar had been set, but somehow Mauritius was even better … stunning scenery, mountain hikes, catamaran cruises, seeing the group droning whales from the villa and so much more !! Johan is a very patient coach and spends 1-1 time with everyone helping and guiding. I am still very much a beginner, so this is appreciated.

It was such a pleasure with the group, lifelong friends are made! Already looking forward to our next drone reunion ☺️ Thank you Johan!

I benefited immensely from the drone workshop. I am always *so nervous* when I fly my drone in less-than-perfect conditions and Johan coached me through that. Now, I’m a confident flyer thanks to Johan’s personalized coaching. We worked on my individual needs of composition, editing and using more of the drone’s capabilities. I’m already missing my fellow droners and the gorgeous island of São Miguel. I learned so much that I hope to join another one soon! 😍

If you are insecure and lacking confidence, please book a drone trip now! I can guarantee you Johan will give you the support and teaching that you need to be that guy/girl. I went from not being sure and not knowing what to do, to a fully organized guy with a plan. And now I am so proud of everything I’ve captured and recorded!

Best experience ever 🤩

The safari drone adventure really interested me. I dislike zoos and this safari allowed me to drone animals in their habitat. And I survived the trip with all of my limbs 😁 The accommodation was well above my expectations, with 3 exceptional meals a day. I learned a safari will teach you patience, for the animals are not waiting for you; distinguishing between old and new tracks and how to approach animals in the wild. The bonus was to reunite with previously met Adventurers. This was a wonderful bucket list experience!

1st drone trip with Johan (but def. not the last) and it’s been a blast! Johan knows all the best spots and had backup locations in case of bad weather. The group I was part of was great and I have made some lifelong friends. Learned a lot from Johan and the group. The Azores offers a lot of opportunities for drone photography and with Johan’s guidance, you are bound to get great shots. The editing sessions were very informative, as well as the constructive feedback. Looking forward to the next one! ?

If you are looking to fly intensively everywhere and all day long you are in the right place! Enjoyed so much discovering Azores through Johan’s eyes and sharing these days with passionate droners.

Definitely an experience that you won’t regret!

Just wrapped up an incredible drone workshop in the Azores with Johan and a fantastic group! Each day, we explored stunning locations, capturing breathtaking views and perfecting our drone skills. Johan’s coaching on getting the best shots and flying tips was invaluable. The experience was elevated by amazing food prepared by a talented chef every evening. Highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking to take their drone photography to the next level! Can’t wait to book my next trip away with him! ☺️

I signed up again with Johan for a 2nd trip and I was not disappointed. Johan continued to assess the skills I required and coached me through them. A new group of pilots, however the sharing experience was equally immeasurable. Droning certainly is an international team builder. The trip is not a vacation though and can be very exhausting. However it’s well guided and flexible enough. I highly recommend the trip to take your piloting to the next level. Learn to trust yourself and your drone. Are you up for it? 😎

As a newbie to drone photography I was a bit apprehensive. However, the trip was very relaxed. Johan was always there to help and give advice. The locations on this trip are amazing: wonderful opportunities for drone photography. And the accommodation and food are highly recommended as well !!

When I booked this drone trip I was a little nervous, because my English isn’t super fluent and I was afraid I would miss a lot of what would be explained. Instead Johan and the whole group made me feel really at ease, giving me an experience that I will always carry in my heart. The weather was not always favorable, but this helped improve my confidence in extreme situations. I took some very nice photos and I’m sure I improved my awareness a lot. Would I do it again? Certainly! 💪

During my Azores adventure, I discovered I had no clue on what I was doing. Sure I took plenty of drone shots, but it was the coaching from Johan that now makes my audience linger and want more. Through my improved photos they are able to travel with me! 😉

It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced drone pilot or you just have a few flights, with or without photo or film experience, Johan will assist you on your own level. Get ready for the best locations, the best food and a great time!

I am an experienced photographer with decades of experience. I signed up, because of the exotic locations and perhaps learn a thing or two. Johan skillfully interacted with each of us at the knowledge level we each had. He encouraged us to look at things differently and shared his experience and experiences joyfully. We all became better photographers, more than we expected, as well as adventurers. And the group forged a long-lasting bond.

I had to postpone my trip by a year due to health issues, but this drone workshop was definitely worth the wait! Johan’s expert guidance while flying in all sorts of challenging scenarios really helped boost my confidence. Fast-paced but super well organized, we even managed to sprinkle in some relaxing activities like soaking in thermal baths and enjoying delicious food.

If you want to boost your drone skills in the stunning landscape of the Azores, I highly recommend this trip!

Watching Bertie Gregory capture wildlife with a drone made me dream about filming wildlife with my drone. This safari trip made that dream a reality, with an unforgettable adventure capturing rare moments from graceful giraffes to gentle giants like Rhinos. I also got to capture the diverse birds that reflect the beauty and wonder of South Africa’s ecosystem.

The coaching from Johan and the peer learning from other drone enthusiasts made the experience incredible.

Starting as a complete beginner, Johan has been so patient with me, I cannot believe the progress I’ve made during this trip! Whenever you have a question, he doesn’t just roll out the answer, he makes you actually find and understand the solution, so that you can confidently apply them, even when he’s not around. Our team was so amazing, we just instantly bonded, and my face has been hurting from laughter all week! I’m already missing these random people so much. Go book your trip now, or I will take your spot! 😇

I have been flying various drones for three years and also been on other photography workshops. In comparison Johan’s daily planned adventures & personal coaching tips in photography composition & flying a drone was a great lifetime experience well worth it. Our villa was immaculate clean & comfortable, along beautiful outdoor scenery. The private chef was also wonderful and cooked some delicious meals that were well planned out. Excellent experience ☺️

Although, I never know what to expect, at the same time, I do know what to expect. The usual: great efforts by Johan to bring a memorable experience and great accommodation with an above-average dining experience. On top of that, a great group of international pilots embarked on this journey with me.

The Malta drone trip provides a good mix of landscapes and architecture. This rewarding experience allowed us to hone our composition skills, spanning a range of subjects. Overall, this is a well recommended journey to have 👍

For me it was a once in a lifetime experience. A trip full of activities and lot of tips & tricks to make my drone shots go from ‘OK shots’ to ‘WOW shots’ 😍

Just back from the drone trip … and still buzzing! I was pretty much a beginner dronie, but from day 1 I started learning. Johan is a wonderful coach, very supportive and encouraging. Not only has he built up my confidence in flying, he has expanded my knowledge in photography and post-processing. On top of that, you really don’t have to think about anything! It felt like a 5 star service from start to end. Thank you ? Our group was also soooo much fun, lifelong friends were made and we’re already talking about booking another trip !!

What a trip! Everything was organized as promised beforehand. We visited the most beautiful spots at sunrise and sunset to get the best out of our drones. Do you want to raise your drone level? Go with Johan!
