Ragnar Jonsson

Ragnar grew up on Iceland’s west coast, spending his childhood exploring the countryside with his family. After earning an MSc in Business and a BA in political science, philosophy, and economics, he spent a decade in business management and marketing—often gazing from his office toward the mountains he missed. Three years ago, he followed his heart into guiding. He now thrives on deepening his knowledge of Iceland and sharing the mountains, valleys, and coastal legends of his youth with travelers. “The best part of being a guide,” he says, “is meeting people and creating memories that will never fade—what those moments are, we discover together.” Ragnar lives with his family in Flúðir on Iceland’s south coast.
