About the Iceland family vacation package

Planning an Iceland trip with young children can be difficult when many tours set a minimum age. This package solves that by combining small-group tours that welcome children of all ages, including babies and toddlers.

Your family stays in Reykjavík for the whole trip and travels on guided small-group tours, so there's no need to rent a car, drive long distances, or change hotels partway through. The itinerary covers three regions: the Golden Circle, the South Coast and the Reykjanes Peninsula.

A completely free day (Day 4) gives families a break between tours, whether that means resting, exploring the city at an easy pace, or adding another activity. Even without a minimum age, it's worth considering trip length: the Golden Circle tour runs about eight hours, the South Coast about ten, and Reykjanes about seven, so bring what you need for a long day out with young children.

Accommodation is not included by default, which lets you pick a family room, apartment or hotel that suits your budget; the owner can also help add suitable accommodation on request. Every tour in the package, and the airport transfers, can be upgraded to a private service for more flexibility with timing and pace.
