Forget New Zealand, The Test and South Fork. Petur is magical. My son and I slept in Reykavik, At 8AM each day, Petur picked us up in his comfortable, modern... read more four wheel cruiser. We drove 50-90 minutes along the rift valleys with informed discussions of the tectonic plate separation, Icelandic flowers, sagas, exotic fish cookery and cultural rap music; yes, they are there. This is one delightful guide- humorous, great American speech and courteous.

But he really shown when we approached private water to fish for Char and late season Brown trout. He provided licenses, rods, local flys, waders, soft Icelandic water. We hiked to amazing, gin clear holding water, guided to the unique hungers of local fish and the haul was amazing in numbers and size. What is better than seed bread sandwiches, hot coffee and crisps on the bank of rivers without humans within ten miles. The hiking alone, through lupines and wild lettuces would have been enough. In July there are 18 hours of light so through were no constraints on time.

Petur joined us at local restaurants for the lobster or fish chowders, great hamburgers and amazing pastries. Everyone knows him and respects him.

An amazing four days on the water with a great guide and now, friend.

  Petur is a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who loves Iceland and will share that love with you. We visited The Golden Circle in a comfortable car with several interesting... read more side tours. I would highly recommend Petur and Icelandic Elements to all.

  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!
