Kerlingarfjöll, located in the Icelandic Highlands, is a stunning geothermal wonderland that makes for an unforgettable day tour. The journey itself is an adventure, taking you through rugged highland roads with spectacular scenery at every turn. As you approach Kerlingarfjöll, the landscape transforms into a surreal mix of vividly colored rhyolite mountains, steaming vents, and glistening snow patches, offering a stark and beautiful contrast.

What makes Kerlingarfjöll truly amazing is the sense of remoteness and tranquility. Even though it’s a popular destination, the vastness of the area allows for moments of solitude, where you can fully immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Icelandic nature. The combination of geothermal wonders, striking landscapes, and the feeling of being in one of the most pristine and untouched places on earth makes a day tour to Kerlingarfjöll an extraordinary experience.

Going to anotber country for the first time can be scary but with Julian as our guide i felt like id been living there my whole life. Such an incredible trip that was made better by having someone so knoweldable and experienced guiding us around.

We are a family of five who spent six days and five nights touring southern Iceland and the highlands with Arctic Julien, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. Julien was an excellent host — extremely knowledgeable about all things Iceland, especially its nature and landscapes. His passion for the country was matched by his ability to share fascinating facts, hidden gems, and breathtaking viewpoints we never would have found on our own. From start to finish, Julien was organized, professional, and attentive to every detail, ensuring our days and nights ran smoothly and comfortably. By the end of the trip, it felt less like we were with a guide and more like we were exploring with a good friend. We enthusiastically recommend Arctic Julien to anyone looking to experience Iceland in a deeper, more personal way. Thank you, Julien, for making our adventure unforgettable!

Julian was simply the BEST! From the minute we contacted him through to when we met, his communication was excellent. He is kind, knowledgeable, driven, and cares a lot about the comfort and safety of his guests. Our Kerlingarfjoli HIghlands Adventure was fun, exhilarating, interesting, and beautiful. The scenery is incredible and Julian, whose English is perfect, gave us so much interesting information about everything we saw and Iceland in general. We had lots of engaging conversation, great laughs, and a wonderful time sharing great music! And the photos are an incredible bonus when touring with Julian. We would highly recommend Julian and can't wait to come back and tour Iceland in the winter with him!!
