FAQS
Private Experiences
-
Private transportation, local guidance, itinerary planning, and professional photography throughout the experience. Each experience is tailored to the season, conditions and your interests.
-
Private experiences are designed for up to 4 guests, allowing for a comfortable and personal experience.
-
Absolutely. The experiences are intentionally flexible. Tell me what you'd like to see and do, and we'll shape the day around your interests, the season and the conditions.
-
Pickup and drop-off can usually be arranged from your accommodation or an agreed location. Details are confirmed when planning your experience.
-
Icelandic weather can change quickly, so flexibility is part of the experience. Routes and activities may be adjusted when necessary to make the most of the conditions while keeping safety first.
-
Some experiences are available throughout the year, while others are seasonal. Þórsmörk and Highland experiences, for example, depend on road openings and conditions.
-
Yes! To secure your date, I require a 50% deposit at the time of booking. This deposit is non-refundable and guarantees that your selected date is reserved just for you.
Photography
-
Yes. Professional photography is included with every private experience.
-
The photography is documentary and natural, with opportunities for more intentional portraits when appropriate. The goal is to capture the experience rather than turn the day into a traditional photoshoot. More photography focus can be added as an add-on.
-
A curated selection of 25-50 professionally edited photographs is included with each experience. The exact number can vary depending on the experience and duration.
-
Yes. If you'd like photography to be a larger part of your experience, a dedicated photography package can be arranged.
-
Yes. Elopements, secret proposals, couples and lifestyle photography are a core part of my photography work.
For proposals, I can also help plan the location and timing to keep the experience discreet and natural.
Planning your experience
-
I recommend getting in touch as early as possible, particularly for summer, Highland trips and elopements. However, last-minute availability may sometimes be possible.
-
Comfortable outdoor clothing, waterproof layers, sturdy footwear and any personal items you may need during the day. I'll provide specific recommendations based on your experience and the conditions. - Check out my guides !
-
Equipment and requirements depend on the specific glacier experience and conditions. Details will be discussed during planning so you know exactly what is required before the day.
-
Yes. The itinerary can include suitable stops for lunch, coffee or refreshments. Meals and personal expenses are generally not included unless specifically arranged.
Safety & Conditions
-
Safety always comes first. If weather, road conditions or other circumstances make an activity unsuitable, the itinerary may be changed or an alternative experience suggested.
-
Highland access is seasonal and depends on road openings and conditions. Þórsmörk and other Highland experiences are generally offered during the summer season.
-
No. The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed. I follow forecasts, cloud conditions and solar activity to give us the best possible opportunity.
BOOKING
-
Send an enquiry through the website with your dates, group size and what you'd like to experience. I'll get back to you with availability and ideas for your experience.
-
Yes although some experiences have a suggested structure, but I prefer to keep the experience flexible rather than force every guest into the same itinerary.
-
Cancellation terms depend on the experience and will be provided with your booking information before confirmation.
-
Absolutely.
If you have an idea that doesn't fit one of the experiences listed on the website, get in touch. Bespoke experiences are very much part of what I do.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Every experience is different, and I'm happy to discuss the details before you book.
