Hello! I’m a lifelong Icelander with a deep love for this land and a passion for sharing it with curious travellers. I currently live in Akureyri in North Iceland, but over the years I’ve lived in many parts of the country — from remote fishing villages to the lively capital — and that variety gives me a unique perspective I love bringing into my tours. My guests often tell me that my tours feel more like travelling with a local friend than a formal guide. I believe travel should be personal, memorable, and filled with moments you won’t find in a brochure — and that’s exactly what I aim to offer. When I’m not guiding, I’m out exploring, researching new stops, and refining my routes — so even returning guests discover something new. Whether you're visiting for the first time or coming back for more, I’d be honoured to help you experience Iceland in a way that’s meaningful, flexible, and fun. If you’re looking for a private tour with a knowledgeable local who’s genuinely passionate about what they do — I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make your Iceland trip unforgettable. - Licensed Professional driver. - First aid course and additional refresher courses at regular intervals - Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority. - Fully licensed Day tour provider by the Icelandic Tourist Board. - Fully licensed Iceland tour guide badge number 1159. - Thirteen years of experience in guiding

Imagine a day where waterfalls carry legends, lava fields twist into surreal shapes, and steam rises gently from the earth. This private journey takes you from Akureyri to Goðafoss — the "Waterfall of the Gods" — before continuing into the volcanic landscapes of Lake Mývatn. Walk among pseudo craters and eerie lava formations, feel the heat of bubbling mud pools at Hverir, and explore a region where nature and folklore intertwine. With time and interest, you can unwind in the Mývatn Nature Baths — a peaceful soak with panoramic views. Throughout the day, I’ll share the stories, history, and quiet moments that make this region so unforgettable — all at a pace that’s relaxed, personal, and designed around you.
Throughout the day, we’ll explore some of North Iceland’s most striking and storied landscapes: – Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods” – Skútustaðir’s gentle pseudo craters – Dimmuborgir’s surreal lava formations – Hverir’s steaming mud pools and fumaroles – Panoramic views across the volcanic terrain Time and interest permitting, we can also stop for a relaxing soak at the Mývatn Nature Baths — a quieter, scenic alternative to the Blue Lagoon. This is a private experience, and the itinerary is flexible. If you have special interests or requests, I’m happy to adjust the day to suit your pace and preferences.
