Hi there, I'm a fully licensed outdoor guide based in Iceland. For the past seven years, I've had the pleasure of guiding people in various outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snowmobiling, glacier hiking, and trekking. My experience has given me the skills and knowledge necessary to ensure that each of my clients has a memorable time exploring Iceland's stunning landscape. Apart from the thrilling outdoor activities, I also guide easier driving sightseeing family-friendly tours. These tours are perfect for families with young children or those who want to enjoy Iceland's scenic beauty without undertaking strenuous activities. During my free time, I love to explore the beauty of Iceland by 4x4, on foot or on skis. I also have a passion for photography, both above and underwater. Capturing the essence of Iceland's unique landscape is something I truly enjoy and I always carry my camera gear with me, ready to capture those unforgettable moments. I have an insatiable appetite for adventure and have travelled to various exciting places such as Asia, the Alps, Patagonia and the Himalayas. Whether it's challenging terrain, cultural experiences or breathtaking views, I always find a way to satisfy my craving for exploration.

    Our tour with Julian was nearly derailed by the wild weather in Iceland, but he went out of his way to move things around and alter our route to make it happen. I was so very impressed by this entire tour, including how engaging Julian was with our two teens. He made sure to include everyone, and constantly checked in to be sure we were all comfortable, even stopping...

    Julian was a phenomenal guide, and this was easily one of the best tours we have ever taken. He was so kind, modifying the tour to fit the physical needs of our group and going out of his way to make sure we were always comfortable. He adapted the tour so we could see all of our "can't miss" locations, and was very communicative about the ever changing weather. Snorkeling...

    Thanks again Kate, I'm so happy you guys had a great time! Silfra sure is a magical place and it can be quite challenging changing into wetsuits in Winter but you guys nailed it! I hope to see you guys again if you visit Iceland once more!

    We had a very pleasant experience on the South Coast tour, including the glacier hike, with Julian. He was professional and well organized, which made everything run smoothly. The atmosphere was relaxed, the pace was just right, and the tour was very well arranged overall.
