All Inclusive Family Holidays to Iceland

Our family resort options sit in Iceland's compact towns, where short distances keep days relaxed for children and parents alike.

• Reykjavik: Reykjavik is the natural starting point for a family package because the city centre is compact and walkable, with several museums suited to children and easy access to the old harbour. Families can cover most of the centre on foot, which keeps evenings simple and reduces the amount of time spent in the car. The trade-off is that the city is the most expensive part of the island, so we recommend a package with meals included so your daily costs are fixed before you arrive. For families who want a busy base with short walks, it is our first choice. It is exactly the brief our Reykjavik holidays deals are built around.
• Akureyri: Akureyri is the largest town in North Iceland, set on the long fjord Eyjafjordur, and it suits families who want a calmer pace than the capital. The town centre is a short walk from the harbour, and the botanical garden gives children space to wander outdoors. Godafoss waterfall lies within driving distance, so you can plan a half-day excursion without a long journey. We find it works best for families who value quiet evenings and a slower rhythm.
• Husavik: Husavik is a small harbour town on the north coast and the main base for whale watching tours that leave from its harbour. Families often find the tours the highlight of their trip, and the town centre sits close to the port, so the walk back from the boats is short. The harbour is also a seasonal cruise stop, so the town can feel busier in summer than in quieter months. We recommend it for families who want one memorable outing built into a relaxed stay.
• Hofn: Hofn is a fishing town in southeast Iceland and a practical base for families who want to reach the glacier lagoon at Jokulsarlon. The journey along the Ring Road is long, so we suggest staying here for a night or two rather than driving the full distance in one day. Accommodation is simpler than in the capital, which we see as an advantage for families who prefer a low-key stay. It suits travellers who plan their days around scenery rather than city attractions.
• Seydisfjordur: Seydisfjordur is a small fishing town in East Iceland known for its colourful wooden houses and a harbour that is linked to Denmark by the Smyril Line ferry. The town is quiet and easy to explore on foot, which appeals to families who want a short walk to everything. Mountain roads reach it from the rest of the island, so travel times are longer and we factor that into our itineraries. For families looking for a unique setting with a ferry connection, it is a distinctive choice.
