Èric D
A while ago I was lucky enough to get a job in Iceland, and I must admit, I was completely unaware of what was ahead of me when I first set foot in the country. Working in the tourism industry allowed me to meet with travelers like myself every day, and I soon had the urge to travel all around the country on my own. Marveled by its wild beauty and its welcoming people, Iceland changed me in ways I cannot describe. I now strive to help people craft trips around Iceland, and I hope to share my passion for this otherworldly corner of the world with you.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in tailor-made trips all around Iceland, but I put special emphasis in the Snæfellsnes peninsula, the Westfjords and lake Mývatn, as I have not only visited but also lived in these places."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Travelling came to me when I least expected it. After going through some personal turmoil, I turned to travelling hoping it would help me move on. However, it did much more than that. Travelling widened my horizons and completely changed the way I live my life. Since then, I have travelled all around Europe, Morocco and Cuba, and lived in Ireland, Iceland, Mexico and France. And I can't help but notice that now, immediately after each trip I take, I'm already thinking about the next one."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I have seen the brightest auroras swallow the darkness and dance above me in Mývatn, sensed the mighty force of a glacial river carving its way through the highlands at Dettifoss, and felt the thundering voice of the Fagradalsfjall volcano making the ground below my feet tremble, and any of these could make a nearly unbeatable candidate for an unforgettable experience. But perhaps because it was my first time travelling, my fondest memory is much more humble.
The sound of a man playing an accordion on the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, over the hushed crashing of the waves hundreds of meters below, while a gentle marine breeze carried the notes away... that is a memory that will never leave me."

Húsavík Whale Watching
Near the town of Húsavík, you'll find the world-famous Skjálfandi Bay, known to be one of the best areas in the country to spot whales. Unlike in other regions where you must sail out to sea to find whales, the bay often has whales, porpoises, and seabirds just a few minutes from its harbor. This...
Glymur Waterfall Hike
In West Iceland, about a 1-hour drive northeast of Reykjavik, is Glymur Falls. Although this particular cascade used to be the highest in Iceland (at about 650 feet (198 m) tall), the recent retreating of the Vatnajokull glacier tongue created a slightly more towering waterfall, Morsarfoss!...

1) The day we landed in Keflavik we had a day to reorient due to the 5 hour time change. Driving was not too different from the US so that part was fairly easy.
2) The idea of doing snorkeling and hiking excursions the first 4 days of our trip was a great idea as we had the most energy to do these adventures at the beginning of the trip.
3) The food... Read more

Just returned from the most wonderful trip to Iceland. Eric, our specialist, really understood the sort of vacation we wanted to have and put together an excellent itinerary for us to follow as we drove the Ring Road. It was so nice to have a handful of experiences all booked and paid for with self guided tours in-between. Everyday was an adventure, and just when we thought we had seen or experienced everything, the next day proved us wrong!
Thank you Eric and Kimkim for a very memorable experience.
Unforgettable trip for our family!

Eric planned an unforgettable trip for our family! It was the exact pace we needed plus hitting all the must see spots and more! His trip details and notes and quick links for daily driving plans and food options made planning our days exploring and driving the countryside seamless. He and his team helped during the trip to reschedule a whale watching tour due to weather and were so responsive. We had a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Eric !

The itinerary met our required wishes. The 'Golden Circle' stay was a great way to begin our introduction to Iceland and the proximity to the airport of our first lodging helped us deal with the jetlag. The geothermal activity was a real attraction. Unfortunately I missed the planned activity at that location.
Our stay in Kirkjubaejarklaustur gave us exposure to... Read more
