Since I was a teenager I have been travelling around Iceland in my free time - and even today that is what I do when I'm on holiday. Iceland is a endless treasure chest - filled with nature, history and geology, plus of course, stories of people, elves and other Icelander's, and there's always something new to see. I love showing people my beautiful country, so working as a tour guide is my dream job. I started working as a tour guide many years ago, around 1990, but just as a side job. However, from the beginning of 2022, I have been doing it full time. I've been working in tourism for many years, teaching in the icelandic guiding schools, working in safety in tourism and in search and rescue. I'm also a bestseller author of books about Iceland, so travelling and tourism have been my life. My favorite thing is to guide people who are interested in our nature, history and geology, and I love to tell people about those things, but also about things that make us Icelanders unique. For example, how is it to live in a country with so many eruptions and earthquakes. How can we live here in winter when we only have a few hours of daylight? Do we really have daylight 24 hours a day in summer? And lets not forget about the elves - do Icelanders believe in elves? I look forward to take you on one of my tours and tell you about what makes Iceland like no other country in the world, and of course, tell you some stories along the way. Who knows - maybe we will add an extra unexpected stop! I am a Licenced Tour Guide in Iceland, and possess a Hiking Guide License too. I also have a Day Tours permit, as well as permit to transport tourists in my own vehicle - LandRover Defender (4 pax) but I also have access to other vehicles for more passengers if needed. Love to make customize tours so don't hesitate to contact me. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Rural Tourism, which further helps me to create good experience for my guests. I have been an active member of Search & Rescue for 35 years, as well as working in search and rescue too, by teaching about safety in Tourism, outdoors, first aid, orienteering and more for many, many years.

Waterfalls, Black Beach and a Canyon Adventure
Overview of your Reykjavik tour
The South Coast of Iceland is one of the most popular day tours and not without a reason. Amazing scenery on both hands and only about 2 hours drive from our capital, Reykjavik. The South Coast is therefore a must when visiting Iceland. On this tour we do a little more - without skipping the famous Black Sand Beach we visit SIX waterfalls of all sizes and shapes. This tour is not offered by anyone else here in Iceland so don't miss out on all this amazing attractions and all the stories about this area - did you now that there is a treasure chest behind on of our waterfalls ? In the end of the day we will take on a little but safe adventure - but expect to get your feet a little wet so extra shoes, sock and even trouses could be a good thing. Our reward is one amazing waterfall.
Your Reykjavik tour itinerary
I will pick you up at your accommodation and we head out of Reykjavik - about 2 hours drive to the South Coast but with the beatiful scenery of South Iceland on both sides. On our way is Urriðafoss waterfall, the most volumeous waterfall in Iceland - very wide and quite a sight. Next the amazing Skógafoss waterfall - plummering down around 60 meters (200 feet) and we can get so close we can almost touch it. Only 5 minutes away is the very cute Kvernárfoss waterfall which we will also visit. The Black Sand Beach is probably the most famous black beach in the world - and when we add very beatiful basalt columns and amazing lava formation this stop is a must. The neighbours Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Gljúfrabúi waterfall awaits us, very unlike each other but so wonderful to visit - expecially on summer when we can hike around the bigger one. Lat but not least - Nauthúsagil canyon with the so very much dramatic waterfall in the bottom of the canyon. Not doable over the peak winter months.
