Get to know us

It's a bit embarrassing for the rest of us, but this Frenchman’s knowledge of Iceland is way better than the average Icelander's, including the rest of the office.

In his free time he plays darts and he honestly does have the potential to become a professional dart player. Also he grows the most complex and sturdy beard, making him more of a Viking than any of us!

Heba is an invaluable member of our team - a combination of diverse talent and sharp skills, both of which are super useful in our line of business! Her detail-oriented thinking and organizational skills have earned her the nickname Heba Hetja (Heba Hero). She may come across as shy but that’s simply down to the fact that instead of nattering away, her time is more wisely spent spotting any booking discrepancies and informing the rest of the team so that we can find a quick solution and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

She’s always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need and, in turn, functions as Eskimos’ “stress-vent,” taking some pressure off anyone who feels too swamped - she can do anything! 

Loïc is not only a travel expert, he can whip himself into virtually any role we need. He can guide, cook, dance, speak Japanese, bake amazing cakes… the list of his many talents goes on forever. Mostly he’s just a really nice guy and a total gentleman who’ll plan your Iceland itinerary down to the tiniest details to make sure it’s the trip of a lifetime!

Loïc is Frenchman Number 2.5 on the Eskimos team, as he’s also half-Icelandic. I guess there is just something about these Frenchmen, we just keep on adding them to our team.

Our Þóra is a mystery to us - how does she do it? This former Reykjavík party girl turned a calm country belle has extensive knowledge of our beautiful country. A simple day tour will turn into a magical adventure in her hands. Not only has Þóra traveled extensively around our amazing island but her exotic adventures abroad give us the chills. She has traveled the highlands of Iceland under dancing Northern lights during the cold winter nights and walked the edge of a bubbling volcano in Nicaragua. What a superwoman! And even though nowadays you will probably find her cuddled up with a good red wine in her cute country house, you can drag the party girl out on the town with a promise of a good tequila!

Andri is the most relaxed person in the office, which may well be down to the fact that he was raised in California. He never removes his Oakland Athletics cap, though we are not even sure if he actually likes baseball.

He owns the most impressive collection of vinyls in Iceland and for him a good Friday evening entails enjoying some classic ‘90s tunes while swigging the cheapest beer to be found in the alcohol store. One piece of advice: don’t call him on Tuesdays! He has his weekly poker game every Monday so he might not be in the mood…

This is Hildur, or Snilldur, as we sometimes call her. “​Snilld“ means “awesome” in Icelandic; if someone tells you something amazing, you can say: “Wow Snilld!”

Hildur has many qualities other than being just awesome, she is super efficient and she will make your stay in Iceland just perfect with all her little details and all her triple-checking everything.

Ooh how much you don‘t know about Inga, other than being one of the nicest persons you will ever meet, she is a former beauty queen of the North and once the Icelandic Glíma champion.

Inga is of course much more than just a pretty face and strong muscles, she has got the brains and the organizing skills as well so if you want your holiday in good hands, Inga is your expert!

“Keep calm and call Ragnar” is a quote often used in the office.

Eskimos would never work without Ragnar. He is our glue, our savior of many things. For example, he is the head of the coffee machine and keeps the coffee running in our veins - oh and he is also the maintenance guy among other things, he can basically fix anything!
