Overview

This active family holiday in Iceland is an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, wildlife, folklore, and visiting its tremendous geological scenery. We begin our holiday north of Reykjavik, in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, with a walk along the cliffs and sandy beaches spotting seals. We see the iconic mountain of Kirkufell, made famous in Game of Thrones.  

Moving southwards our attention focuses on the Golden Circle tour including the majestic waterfall of Gullfoss, the spouting water at Geysir and the ancient parliament at Thingvellir.  Our holiday ramps up with an enjoyable kayaking session and seeing puffins. At Fjallsarlon we take to the water on a zodiac in the glacial lagoon. The ice formations and icebergs are stunning and exude a mystical blue aura as we travel through the water. We then don crampons and walk on the ice of the glacier in Vatnajokull National Park – this is day you and the children will never forget! 


It’s then all about the lava fields, steam spouts and boiling mud cauldrons as we pass through the Krysuvik Geothermal Area. We have a lovely soak and unwind in the surreal Blue Lagoon before travelling back to Reykjavik. Our last day packs a punch, as we sail out for a morning whale-watching. Possible sightings include minke and humpback whales, porpoises and dolphins. Along our journey through Iceland we learn about how environmental changes are effecting the glaciers and wildlife, and how we can take positive steps for the future.

With its breath-taking landscapes, natural wonders, and endless activities, this holiday in Iceland is perfect for active and adventurous families looking create memories that will last a lifetime.
