# About Iceland.org: Ownership, Guides and Trip Enquiries

Iceland.org is a privately owned travel-guide website with tour comparisons and trip-planning enquiries. Erik Rivera is its owner and founder. The guides are free to read, and an enquiry is separate from a confirmed booking.

## Erik Rivera — owner and founder

Erik Rivera owns Iceland.org. Find his public background on [Erik’s personal website](<https://www.erikrivera.com/>) and [LinkedIn profile](<https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-rivera/>). These profiles identify the owner; they are not evidence that he has visited every destination or personally written or reviewed every guide.

For enquiries about Iceland.org, use [our contact page](<https://www.iceland.org/contact>) or [hello@iceland.org](<mailto:hello@iceland.org>). Iceland.org is independent of the Icelandic government and tourism boards. Links to public authorities are sources, not endorsements or supplier relationships.

## Who writes and reviews the guides?

Iceland.org is the publisher of this guide library. AI tools assist with drafting, editing and consistency checks. A collective publisher credit does not identify an individual author or establish that a human has verified every claim. We do not assign Erik or an unnamed “local expert” an author or reviewer credit for work that has not been documented.

A named factual review applies to the stated page version and scope. A later rewrite can require a new review. Source checks, publication/edit dates and human factual reviews describe different work. Our [writing and review explanation](<https://www.iceland.org/editorial-policy#credits>) sets out how to read those distinctions.

First-hand travel accounts need an identifiable contributor and supporting observations. A sourced planning table or suggested route is research-based advice unless the page explicitly documents an actual visit.

## How information is checked

Claim-level source notes link to the responsible authority, operator or dataset and show when the source was checked. A note supports the specific claim beside it; it does not certify the entire guide or today’s conditions. Some older guides still need additional sourcing and review.

The [sourcing policy](<https://www.iceland.org/editorial-policy#sources>) explains evidence selection and uncertainty. If you find an error, send the page URL, the wording in question and a useful source through [the corrections route](<https://www.iceland.org/contact#corrections>).

## How the travel service works

Use the guides and tour comparisons to research your trip, or send your dates and preferences through [the trip enquiry form](<https://www.iceland.org/plan-my-trip>). Submitting details does not reserve a tour, collect a booking payment or confirm that a particular itinerary can be arranged.

If you receive a proposal, confirm the named business and operator, full price, inclusions, availability, fees and booking/cancellation terms before agreeing. Our [service explanation](<https://www.iceland.org/travel-agent#how-it-works>) separates an enquiry, a proposal and a booking.

A tour listing or an official-source link is not proof of a supplier partnership. Commercial links may generate commission; check the disclosure alongside the link. We do not present unverified supplier relationships, customer testimonials or service guarantees as credentials.
