Walk and Talk with My Uncle

Intimate and authentic tours of the hidden gems in South Iceland Some people hurry through Iceland ticking off the “to do” list but missing out on the small things and the heart of the matter. In Mýrdalur, one of the most popular destinations in Iceland, it is well worth slowing down and digging into things just a bit deeper.

At the same time, to learn more about the nature as well as the life and history of the local people, who live under one of the most powerful volcanoes in Iceland, the infamous Katla; buried under dense layers of ice waiting for the right moment to erupt and inundate the sandy plains with water and icebergs.

My Uncle avoids the crowded spots and connect directly with nature, history and the local culture. It offers exciting and friendly in-depth tours that help you learn about and appreciate some of the less known natural wonders of South Iceland.
