THE ULTIMATE ONE-WEEK FAMILY ITINERARY TO ICELAND
ICELAND is unlike any other country on Earth. The Land of Fire and Ice is exactly that, an island formed (and still being formed) by volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates and the slow but perpetual progress of mighty glaciers. The landscapes are cinematic, the influence of Mother Nature everywhere. If you want your children to appreciate the power of the elements, then this is the place to come.
In just eight days, you’ll discover much of what makes this such an epic country to visit, from the roaring waterfalls at Skógafoss to the soothing hot springs of The Blue Lagoon. Along the way, you’ll take in black-sand beaches specked with icebergs, a giant rift in the Earth’s crust, and craggy lava fields that look like they’ve been plonked here from outer space.
