I'm a local guide in the Reykjavik Area, born and raised mostly in the rural parts of Iceland. I spend most of my free time with my family, fishing or hunting birds in the wilderness of Iceland. I have been guiding for about ten years along with other jobs such as a police officer, commercial fisherman, metal fabricator and many other jobs. I recently decided to devote all my time to guide travelers around my beautiful island as it's the most fun job I've ever had! I love all the tours I do but I think that chasing the Northern Lights is my favorite, it's challenging and there is no guarantee for success so the reward when I find them is addictive and intoxicating. I own a few 19 passenger minibuses and I also have a Tesla Y that I use for tours. I love the nature of Iceland and that's no wonder as the people that travel here usually come to experience that. Although Reykjavík is a nice cozy city I always feel a sense of relief driving away from it and in to the more rural parts of Iceland for the next adventure. I try to give people the experience of freedom and awe on my tours, experiencing the quiet majesty of nature and the solitude of travelling in the most sparsely populated country in Europe. I always welcome any suggestions for customized tours because it's always fun doing things a little bit differently, so if you have any ideas please contact me and I'll see if we can create your perfect tour.

Immerse yourself in alien but enthralling black sands, looming mountains filled with glaciers and endless unnamed waterfalls in a field of purple flowers in the summertime. In the winter its no less surreal, with the black sand melting in to the white snow and blue of frosen rivers, glaciers and waterfalls. The quiet yet humble majesty of black and white combining in to a picture of elegance and purity. As we drive East to the town of Vík, we get to see quite a few glacier volcanos and witness how their terrifying power has sculpted the landscape to otherworldly effects. We also see the evidence of how life has been altered by the power of the volcanos to meet the hard demands of surviving. The local founa is truly one of a kind. If you join this tour in the summer we might get lucky and spot some puffins as a bonus.
This tour as a whole or partially, can be customized to fit your preferences - please inquire Depart from Reykjavík area Pit stop at Hvolsvöllur Skógafoss and the lesser known and less touristy Kvernufoss Reynisfjara - Black sand beach Vík for Lunch - many possibilities depending on preference.
