Iceland for Families: A Private Luxury Journey

In detail

Arrival

Day 1

Arrival

Arrive in Iceland, where your private driver-guide meets you at the airport for a smooth transfer into Reykjavik. En route, pause at the Blue Lagoon to unwind in its warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by lava fields. Afterwards, continue to your city accommodation – a spacious family apartment where you can settle in and explore Reykjavik at your own pace.

Legends, Elves & Icelandic Folklore

Day 2

Legends, Elves & Icelandic Folklore

Meet your guide for a morning in Hafnarfjörður, a town famed for its ties to Iceland’s hidden people. Wander through Hellisgerði Park and Hamarinn cliff as your storyteller brings local folklore to life. Later, take part in a hands-on workshop to craft your own “Skrimsli” – a creature of Icelandic myth to bring home as a keepsake. End the day with a stop for Iceland’s favourite treat: a delicious local ice cream, no matter the weather.

The Golden Circle & Icelandic Horses

Day 3

The Golden Circle & Icelandic Horses

Travel with your guide through Iceland’s famous Golden Circle. Feel the spray of Gullfoss waterfall, watch Strokkur geyser erupt, and stand where the earth splits at Thingvellir. Visit a family-run farm to meet Icelandic horses and learn about their unique gaits before enjoying a fresh tomato-based lunch inside a working greenhouse. Spend the evening at a countryside hotel surrounded by wide-open skies.

Puffins & Volcanoes on the Westman Islands

Day 4

Puffins & Volcanoes on the Westman Islands

Board a ferry to the Westman Islands for a day of exploration. Walk across Heimaey, the largest island, where puffins nest along the cliffs in summer and volcanic lava once reshaped the land. Climb to Storhöfði for sweeping ocean views, visit the famous Elephant Rock, and step into a volcano that changed the island’s history. Return to the mainland for a quiet evening at your hotel.

Geothermal Wonders

Day 5

Geothermal Wonders

Head north with your driver-guide, stopping to explore a man-made cave once used as a family dwelling. Continue to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s first parliament was founded more than a thousand years ago. Afterwards, unwind at the Krauma geothermal baths and enjoy a locally inspired lunch before reaching your next hotel in the peaceful Husafell region.

Langjökull Glacier

Day 6

Langjökull Glacier

Venture onto Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Ride across the ice in a modified vehicle before stepping into a network of tunnels carved deep within the glacier itself. The glowing blue ice and vast stillness make this a highlight for both adults and children. Learn how glaciers form and move, then return to Husafell for one last evening surrounded by nature.

Departure

Day 7

Departure

Enjoy a relaxed morning before your private transfer to the airport. As you leave Iceland behind, carry with you memories of shared adventures, family laughter, and a landscape that feels alive.
