What is an Iceland family holiday?
An Iceland family holiday combines adventure, natural and cultural exploration, and learning, making it a memorable and enriching experience for families of all sizes.
In Iceland, you and your family will experience a ton of fantastic things together, for instance:
Natural wonders
Take your kids on a waterfall hunt, ice cave expeditions, geothermal spring hikes, and glacier investigation. When exploring Icelandic wonders by playing with your children, you’ll see Iceland’s wonders through their eyes. It is so much fun! We bet your kids will discover hidden details that you miss.
Northern Lights hunting
Your kids will remember the northern lights chasing in Iceland forever. Dress warmly and bring a thermos filled with hot chocolate to keep you all warm. Since there’s no guarantee of witnessing the northern lights, our top tip is to prepare your children for the possibility of waiting for the lights to appear. Delve into the natural wonder of the aurora borealis with your children before embarking on your journey to Iceland.
Glacier adventures
Combining a thrilling snowmobiling tour, a glacier and the untamed beauty of Iceland’s wilderness, you have the perfect educational experience for your children! Observing the effects of climate change on Iceland’s glaciers can develop environmental consciousness in young minds.
Geothermal relaxation
You can find a geothermal pool in almost every village: big, small, artificial or natural. These geothermal pools are ideal for initiating conversations if you want to connect with locals. If you can manage a few sentences in Icelandic, the experience will be even more enjoyable.
Whale watching
To get you all excited about the whale watching experience, stop by the Whales of Iceland museum to learn more about these creatures before the tour. It will be so much more fun if you have some basic whale knowledge. Ask questions to the crew and bring binoculars for your kids so they can actively participate in spotting the whales.
Icelandic horse riding
Horse riding in Iceland is suitable for all levels. And it’s a great activity to enjoy with kids. The Icelandic horse is known for its mild temperament. Take your children on horse riding through scenic trails and see the wonders of Iceland’s countryside firsthand.
Golden Circle
Going on a Golden Circle tour allows young explorers to delve into the geothermal wonders of erupting geysers, diverging tectonic plates and thundering waterfalls like Gullfoss. To make the tour even more exciting, give them a disposable camera or a smartphone with a list of things or places they need to photograph during the tour. Offer a reward for the best photo.
The ultimate theme park for families
Imagine your children’s look on their faces standing on top of a volcano, bathing in a geothermal spring, watching wild Icelandic horses roam freely, or witnessing the incredible power of geysers in action. These adventures are not only thrilling but also educational, allowing your children to connect with nature in a meaningful way. Wherever you go during your family holiday in Iceland, your children will be intrigued by what they see and experience.
