Nordic climate - May, June and July are the driest months of the year. Mid-June to August is high season, but most highland tours don’t operate until July because of snow. At other times, many tourist facilities outside Reykjavík are closed. From September through March, the night is dark enough to see the Aurora Borealis.

Day 1 - Reykjavik & the Blue Lagoon
Touch down in Iceland and ease straight into the adventure. From Reykjavik, head to the Blue Lagoon where milky-blue waters and warm silica-rich pools help everyone relax after the flight, parents can unwind while children marvel at the steamy surroundings. Later, settle into Hotel Alda, perfectly placed on one of the city’s most characterful streets. This evening is yours to enjoy Reykjavik’s easygoing food scene, with family-friendly restaurants and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that makes the capital feel welcoming from the start.Day 2 - Mountains, Wildlife & Open Seas
Today blends high-energy fun with unforgettable wildlife encounters. After expert instruction, climb aboard quad bikes and power through the rugged hills surrounding Reykjavik, reaching the summit of Hafrafell for wide-open views that feel wonderfully wild. This afternoon slows the pace as you head out into Faxaflói Bay, one of the world’s best whale-watching areas. From the comfort of your boat, keep watch for humpbacks and playful dolphins, a thrilling, shared moment that brings the whole family together.Where to stay

Day 3 - Golden Circle & Glacier Adventure
Leaving the capital behind, journey into Iceland’s dramatic heartland. Walk between continents at Thingvellir, feel the ground tremble at Geysir and watch Gullfoss thunder into the canyon below, icons that live up to their reputation. This afternoon, the adventure steps up a gear with a snowmobile ride across Langjökull glacier, led by expert guides who ensure everyone feels confident and safe. Tonight, arrive at Torfhús Retreat, settling into your own cosy turf house surrounded by quiet wilderness.Day 4 - South Coast & Ice Exploration
The south coast delivers a powerful sense of scale and contrast. Black sand beaches, tumbling waterfalls and sculpted cliffs set the scene before you reach Sólheimajökull glacier. With a private guide, learn how to use crampons before stepping onto the ice itself, a hands-on experience that feels both exciting and reassuring for families. As you explore shimmering crevasses and icy ridges, stories of Iceland’s glaciers bring the landscape to life. Return to Torfhús Retreat for a peaceful evening under wide skies.Day 5 - Beneath the Lava & Farewell Iceland
Before heading home, uncover one last hidden side of Iceland. Descend into Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel, following the path of molten rock that once surged through this underground world thousands of years ago. The colours, formations and sense of discovery make this an ideal final adventure for curious minds. With helmets on and an expert guide leading the way, it’s a memorable farewell that balances excitement with insight, leaving both adults and children with stories they’ll be retelling long after the journey ends.Where to stay
