Hi there, I'm a fully licensed outdoor guide based in Iceland. For the past ten 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.

Chase the Northern Lights in Comfort, Far From the Crowds
Overview of your Reykjavik tour
Join me for an unforgettable private Northern Lights adventure, far from the crowds and typical tourist stops! I'm Julian, your local guide and professional photographer. Rather than following a fixed route, I'll use the latest weather and aurora forecasts, along with my local knowledge, to find the best possible viewing conditions. We'll travel in a luxurious Mercedes-Benz V-Class or, when needed, a specially modified 4x4 Super Jeep to explore more remote locations. I'll bring warm blankets, delicious hot chocolate and local Icelandic whisky to keep us comfortable beneath the Arctic sky. I'll also capture professional photographs of you under the aurora, included in your tour. Of course, the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and even with perfect planning, we might not see them. I'll always be upfront about our chances and do everything I can to make the evening special, with or without the aurora. A completely private, flexible and authentic Icelandic experience!
Your Reykjavik tour itinerary
**Hotel Pickup – Reykjavík** I'll pick you up from your accommodation in my luxury Mercedes-Benz V-Class or specially modified 4x4 Super Jeep, depending on the conditions. **Chasing the Northern Lights** Using the latest weather and aurora forecasts, I'll choose the most promising locations for the evening. There's no fixed route! We might explore the volcanic landscapes of Reykjanes, the mountains around Þingvellir or hidden spots far from the crowds. **Hot Chocolate, Whisky & Photography** Once we've found a good location, I'll provide warm blankets, delicious hot chocolate and local Icelandic whisky while we wait for the sky to come alive. As a professional photographer, I'll capture beautiful photos of you beneath the Northern Lights, all included in the tour. **Return to Reykjavík** After approximately 4 hours, I'll bring you back to your hotel. The evening is entirely private and flexible, allowing us to adapt to changing conditions and maximize our chances of seeing the aurora.
