We signed up for a tour of Iceland offered by an Iceland-based tour company. The usual tip guidance in other countries that I've heard is $5, 8 or 10 / day for each traveler. Does this hold true for Iceland? Thanks in advance!

Are you paying for the tour? If you are, then you don't tip.

Tipping a tour guide in Iceland is not necessary. Most people won't be tipping as it is not a custom to do so. There might be a few Americans who have tips ready for everyone but no one else will.

Don't do it. Aside from not needing to, it may be perceived as a faux pas. The tour prices are set high enough to cover the full cost of labor, and Icelanders are very professional and don't work off tips.
