Iceland for Families
Iceland is often overlooked as a destination for a family holiday. Yet with a smorgasbord of fascinating geographical phenomena and mythical lore to its name, it is in fact the perfect place for an adventure with the kids in tow. Benefit from the summer’s endless days for a school holiday they will never forget.
Iceland, a Nordic nirvana that wows nature lovers, transfixes culture vultures and thrills adventurers, sits top of many a bucket list. And with good reason. What Iceland lacks in size, it makes up for in natural wonder, confirming it as the perfect destination for an adventure packed holiday, a getaway with the kids or even a romantic break. The land of fire and ice is ready for its moment in the spotlight, basked in the pinkish hues of its never setting sun or the dazzling blues of the Northern Lights.
Whether it's glacier hiking, snowmobiling, or sea kayaking, an action packed itinerary is sure to satisfy the holiday provisos of adrenaline seeking teens. Meanwhile tales of Iceland’s Viking past and myths of a land populated by ice trolls and mermaids are sure to captivate the imaginations of little ones. As we all know, compromise is the key to a successful family holiday, so pair sightseeing in Reykjavik with splashing around in the Blue Lagoon for a family friendly day out. A short drive away from the city, Hotel Grimsborgir offers accommodation in luxuriously appointed apartments, meaning youngsters can have free reign whilst all of the amenities of the hotel are conveniently on hand. During the winter months, the hotel’s location is ideal to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, so kids are guaranteed to be entertained, no matter the season.
With its plummeting waterfalls, spouting geysers and immense glaciers, Iceland is an adventure playground for mums, dads and youngsters alike. It's safe to say, geography homework will never be the same again.
