My name is Gunnar and I am a photographer from Iceland known as Icelandic Explorer. I've spent the past 7 years traveling all across Iceland, searching for the best photo locations, most beautiful landscape, the best food, coffee and unique places to stay. I have published a book about Iceland called "Stunning Iceland" and I am part of the "Best of Iceland" committee for The Reykjavik Grapevine. I am excited to share my knowledge and passion for travel in Iceland with you!

We've just returned from our 11-day trip in western and southern Iceland. I have been following Gunnar online and also have his Stunning Iceland: The Hedonist's Guide book. What amazing photos!
Thanks to this super handy Rexby guide from him, we have discovered lots of amazingly beautiful places! So the ideal partner on a tour of this so beautiful country we fell in love with.
Thank you Gunnar for sharing this with us. We will definitely come back again!

Amazing guide with killer descriptions of smaller things you should absolutley check out! I found using Gunnar's guide + Google was the best way to explore what we wanted to without an overwhelming amount of stops.

Gunner’s guide has been an absolute game changer for our holiday. We’ve completely fallen in love with Iceland, thanks to his meticulously put together guide with hidden gems peppered in between. Buy the guide, go to Iceland 🫶🏼

Gunnar provided a highly-detailed personalized itinerary for our 3-generations family trip to Iceland. We were thrilled with the product, and combined with his full guide we feel well equipped to explore Iceland! In addition to the product itself, Gunnar answered specific questions we had about travel logistics, camera gear, and other details that was extremely helpful. We highly recommend Gunnar's guide and itinerary!
