An adventure around Iceland's Golden Circle is on the bucket-list surely? Why not take the family on an adventure of a lifetime to explore this fabulous country, from geysers and waterfalls to whales and puffins, and from lagoons and hot springs to glacier walks and helicopter rides, as well as Vikings and the city. Iceland offers so much history and geological interest that not matter what age there is so much to be learnt and enjoyed on this island that is just a few hours flight from the UK.

Itineraries can be created to suit your family's interests and abilities, just let us know what you are looking to experience and we shall guide you every step of the way. And with this being a self-drive adventure (in a four-wheel drive) you can take each day at your own pace, have a shorter trip or stay longer.

Your base will be the four-star Hotel Grimsborgir where can all relax and unwind each evening; perhaps take a dip in your own private hot tub. And with the flexibility of having a kitchen in your apartment you can cook for yourselves or enjoy a meal in the on-site restaurant. But do take advantage of the hearty Icelandic breakfast on offer each day, to kick start your day's adventure in Iceland.
