We just returned from a spectacular trip to Iceland that included several days of private guided tours with Petur Benedikt of Icelandic Elements. Petur is the ideal guide for experiencing... read more the real Iceland and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Petur collected us from the overnight flight and organized breakfast so we could regroup and head directly to the Fagradalsfjall volcano to observe the eruption. We hiked up and had a perfect vantage point to watch the flow of lava. Petur took us on tours to the Golden Circle, the Husafell area and a super fun morning of fishing near Reykjavik. Petur was helpful on all the details of our trip - finding a guide in the Akureyri area, the perfect hotel on the south coast, getting a covid test in Reykjavik, the list goes on!

  My family and I had a one day tour with Petur to see the south coast of Iceland. I have to say it was the best way to go!!! I... read more got to see so much in one day. I’m not really good with crowds either and he already knew the best way to see everything while avoiding the obtrusive crowds. He was so enjoyable to be with and so knowledgeable about his country. He really has a love for Iceland which is why it made it so wonderful to have him as a tour guide. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him. After a tour with him, you’ll fall in love with Iceland, just as I did. It really is a beauty. …

  I booked a fishing trip with short notice and found Icelandic Elements online. Icelandic Elements offers a good range of private tours, but the one I was focused on was... read more the fishing tour. I contacted them, and shortly got an answer from Petur, the owner. He took me to one of his secret rivers that he thought would be good for fishing at that time of the year because it was late in the season. Since I am a seasoned fisher man, Petur could fish with me and did not have to teach me how to fish, but he pointed out the best spots and let me take the first casts. We started with the fly rods that he provided but the fish was not biting (probably my lack of experience), so I changed in to my rod with the secret lure and right away the action started!! I caught 6 nice artic char that after noon and it was the first time I ever caught an arctic char. What a fishing trip it was and Icelandic Elements and Petur come highly recommended!
