I'm a local guide in the Reykjavik Area, born and raised mostly in the rural parts of Iceland. I spend most of my free time with my family, fishing or hunting birds in the wilderness of Iceland.

I have been guiding for about ten years along with other jobs such as a police officer, commercial fisherman, metal fabricator and many other jobs. I recently decided to devote all my time to guide travelers around my beautiful island as it's the most fun job I've ever had! I love all the tours I do but I think that chasing the Northern Lights is my favorite, it's challenging and there is no guarantee for success so the reward when I find them is addictive and intoxicating.

I own a few 19 passenger minibuses and I also have a Tesla Y that I use for tours. I love the nature of Iceland and that's no wonder as the people that travel here usually come to experience that. Although Reykjavík is a nice cozy city I always feel a sense of relief driving away from it and in to the more rural parts of Iceland for the next adventure. I try to give people the experience of freedom and awe on my tours, experiencing the quiet majesty of nature and the solitude of travelling in the most sparsely populated country in Europe.

I always welcome any suggestions for customized tours because it's always fun doing things a little bit differently, so if you have any ideas please contact me and I'll see if we can create your perfect tour.

Pickup at the Keflavik international airport and head to the bridge between continents, where the two tectonic plates of euroasia north america meet. Next we head to Deildartunguhver steam vent and check out the Reykjanesviti lighthouse right next to it. We make a drive by of the blue lagoon and have a look at it.
We make a stop at the Krisuvik Seltun hot springs on a scenic drive through a volcanic valley with a lake in the middle.

After that we head to the cruise ship arriving approximately 14:00

Airport pickup and Reykjanes Sightseeing tour

Immerse yourself in alien but enthralling black sands, looming mountains filled with glaciers and endless unnamed waterfalls in a field of purple flowers in the summertime.

In the winter its no less surreal, with the black sand melting in to the white snow and blue of frosen rivers, glaciers and waterfalls. The quiet yet humble majesty of black and white combining in to a picture of elegance and purity.

As we drive East to the town of Vík, we get to see quite a few glacier volcanos and witness how their terrifying power has sculpted the landscape to otherworldly effects.

We also see the evidence of how life has been altered by the power of the volcanos to meet the hard demands of surviving. The local founa is truly one of a kind.

If you join this tour in the summer we might get lucky and spot some puffins as a bonus.

The Magnificent South Coast of Iceland - Waterfalls, Black Sands and Glaciers

On this tour from Reykjavik we will drive along the same path as most of our guests have through the millennia.

This milennia old tour consists of Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss.

We will make some extra stops along the way to experience eggs being cooked in a hot spring, home made ice cream from a farm where we can see the cows, pet horses and eat tomato soup in a tomato greenhouse if the tour is booked with 2 weeks or more advance, tables usually sell out after that.

The last but not least stop is at the beautiful Kerið, a 6500 year old volcanic Crater with a pond that by some miracle supports wild trout.

All in all an informative and fun day full of different experiences.
