My name is Bjorn and I was born and raised in Iceland, and I know my country well by experience. I am a Certified Guide and I have a passion for traveling and I use every chance I get to travel whether it's in Iceland or abroad. I'm a friendly and outgoing person and I love meeting and talking to people. I live in Reykjavik with my family and I've lived in the Reykjavik area my whole life, which I love but I take every chance I get to travel to the countryside and enjoy the nature with my camera in hand. I am an amateur photographer and I don't think I could be luckier with a country to live in since everywhere you look is a photo waiting to be taking. It's a photographer's paradise. Experiencing Iceland with a local guide truly is a great way to get the most out of your adventure. I drive an Audi Q7 e-tron which offers great comfort for up to 4 passengers or a Toyota Proace Verso that suits up to 7 passengers. Going with a professional driver who knows his country and conditions well is a good way to travel since weather conditions in Iceland in the winter time can be harsh and unpredictable. Iceland truly is an amazing and fascinating country with breathtaking scenery and untouched nature and I want you to enjoy it to the fullest and have a save and the most authentic experience as possible. During my university studies I did an exchange year in Vienna, Austria and there I made a lot of friends from all over the world. I've been lucky enough to have some of them visit me here in Iceland and it was then when I discovered my passion for introducing Iceland to visitors. It is a privilege for me to be an Iceland guide and it is very important to me to make your Iceland trip unique and unforgettable. I am flexible and I listen to your wishes and if you have any special interests or hobbies I will do anything I can to accommodate it and incorporate it to your tour. I look forward to welcoming and showing you Iceland! - Certified Guide. - Licensed Professional driver. - First aid course. - Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority. - Owner of Cool Travel Iceland, a Fully licensed DMC/Travel Agency by the Icelandic Tourist Board. - BSc Degree in Business from Bifrost University.

The drive along the south coast of Iceland is one of the most scenic one in the country, and in this tour we will drive as far as the charming village of Vík. For me just driving the South Shore is an experience in its-self. I have been doing this tour for several years now and I don't know how many times I have driven it in total but it never ceases to amaze me. There is something about the majestic mountains that lie along the coast and not to mention all the natural landmarks and wonders! Come with me and immerse yourself in the beautiful South Shore with its powerful and breathtaking waterfalls and glaciers, black beaches, dramatic mountains and incredible rugged and untouched nature.
Along the way we stop at the gorgeous 60m (196 ft. ) high Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is unique since you can walk behind it and through to the other side (NOTE that during Winter sometimes it is not possible to walk behind the waterfall due to Ice and security reasons). Our next stop is at the majestic and much-photographed Skógafoss waterfall, with its 60 m (196 ft. ) drop. Other highlights include the black sand beach and impressive Reynisdrangar rock formations, near Vík. Since this is a private tour we can customize the tour to your needs and wishes as long as it is on our way and fits our timeframe. For example a stop at the Lava Center museum where you can examine the various volcanic eruptions and lava flows, volcanic and rift systems, faults, and glacial floods that make Iceland a showcase of volcanism, which is a great way to start or end the day since we will be driving at much of the area that is explored at the Lava Center
