Our services

We are a small family owned company that offer highland experience just outside the city life.

Real Experience

We did not invent the mountains, but we surely have been enjoying them for along time. This family literally has decades of experience (although some of us don't seem to get older!).  Most of us have been going to the mountains since early teens and believe it or not, four members of our family are members of local search and rescue.  We have a deep understanding of the local culture and are dedicated to providing visitors with an authentic and unforgettable Icelandic experience.

The missing link

We feel that so many people visiting our country are missing out on what we love the most.  An authentic off roading (not literally, we drive on mountain roads) combined with an activity and a night in an Icelandic mountain hut.  Add in stunning scenery and nice BBQ with a cold beer and you have an experience that will last you a lifetime.

Less is More...

We don't think that getting a taste of the Icelandic highlands should take away your time to do other things in our beautiful country.  This is why we set up our tours so that can either be done in half a day or in less than 24 hours!  Experient a lot in less time and you will have more time to do all the other things you want to do in Iceland.

The Team

Halli Kristinsson

The Husband

This mountain lover wishes he could live in the mountains every day of the year.   Having scaled peaks across the globe, he is practically on a first-name basis with mountains everywhere. With nearly three decades in Search & Rescue, he´s got more mountain stories than a campfire has sparks.


Óla Pálsdóttir

The Wife

The cohesive force behind it all, a strategist par excellence and the mastermind shaping the company's direction. With a lifelong passion for the mountains that began in early childhood, and a solid decade of service with Iceland's Search & Rescue teams, Óla brings a wealth of expertise and dedication to the table.

Halldór Fannberg

The Stepson

Quite possibly the most likeable human to ever walk the Earth — or at least, that's the rumor going around. This one's been hauled up more mountains than a trusty backpack, and has a rock climbing résumé that legends are made of. With EMT skills up his sleeve and over a decade of playing hide and seek with danger in the Search & Rescue league, he is the kind of person you'd want around when traveling the backroads.

Sindri Hallgrímsson

The Son

The youngest member of our team may be young, but he has really come a long way to earn the nick name "mountain goat". He loves driving on rough roads in a 4x4 and has just finished a tough two-year training with FBS-R Search & Rescue. Full of excitement, he can't wait to see what adventures are coming next.

Guðjón Benfield

The Friend

His guiding expertise is so vast, it might as well be measured in centuries. Meet Mr. "Patience," the outdoor aficionado with a WFR license and a cool 15 years under his belt with the local Search & Rescue. He's the go-to guy for safely navigating the great outdoors, with a dose of calm that could soothe even the wildest wilderness.

Tinna Gunnarsdóttir

The Other Friend

She really knows the less-traveled roads and loves showing their secret spots to visitors. She's funny and skis so fast, it's like she's racing the next day. As a guide, she makes a big impact on people. And in case you're wondering — yes, she's also a proud member of the local Search & Rescue team.
