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.

Incredible day visiting the Highlands area of Iceland. Kerlingarfjoll region was breath taking beautiful. The land of Fire and Ice was everything Julian promised. The views on the way were just as awe inspiring. This is the Number 1 must do trip in Iceland. Julian made the long day worth every minute. Fun, engaging, and we even got to meet his little 5 month old son. He is the guy you want to see Iceland with. Two days with him was the best choice we made. Thank you Julian.

Great adventure with Julian! Summited Snækollur in Kerlingarfoil. Beautiful weather and just the right amount of snow to make for easy hike to peak. Then took a tour of the thermals topped off with a beer. Thanks again Julian.

From 15yo son: Julian is a fabulous tour guide. He builds the schedule and overall experience around you. He is so flexible and has all the answers to your questions. Though we were sometimes all over the place with our destinations, he didn't complain and created an experience I could not get elsewhere. From 10yo daughter: Julian was a great guide through waterfalls, glaciers and geysers. I enjoyed all he showed and taught us. He was so nice with good sense of humor. He really did make it a better trip
