Meet Pétur
Petur (or simply Peter) has been involved in outdoor activities his whole life, growing up in Iceland has given him a world of opportunities to connect with the nature. Petur started fishing at the age of 11 and since then has been involved massively as both a hobbyist & professionally and more recently has become a serious mountain bike competitor. After spending the summer of 2006 working as a fishing guide at Hofsa river lodge, Petur realised his passion & then began his quest to share this love of outdoor activities, in particularly the Icelandic nature with the world.
„The feeling of togetherness you get when competing or simply being in the nature with an intimate group is like none other, I started Icelandic Elements to share this feeling with you through my guided tours & activities.“ – Pétur Benedikt Rafnsson head Guide and founder of Icelandic Elements

Petur is an amazing tour guide. I went out with Petur to do both Fishing and Northern lights experiences and was extremely satisficed with both. I really apricate his... read more ability to tailor the experience to be exactly what you need it to be. I had an amazing day fishing with Petur, he was super knowledgeable about the river and area we went to. He provided a friendly and great learning experience which can be rare to find in other guides. He showed me all the best fishing areas on the river as well as provided the best flies to fish with at that time. I am happy to say that we caught sea run brown trout which is a fish species I specifically came to Iceland to catch. Petur is very knowledgeable about all things Iceland. I highly recommend reaching out to Icelandic Elements for ANY and ALL tour needs!
