Choose a chalet in an open-air resort or campsite nearby to easily access wonders such as the famous Blue Lagoon, lunarlike landscapes and postcard-perfect lighthouses.
For a wilderness holiday, choose a campsite on the Westfjords peninsula: ideal for observing birds, arctic foxes, plants and rich flora and a place where you will feel a million miles from the rest of the world.
Or opt for the eastern region, rich in forests, rivers and mountains. It is a paradise for trekking and winter sports such as skiing or snowmobiling, as well as host to numerous music and arts festivals in the summer months. The southern region near Akranes and Hvalfjörður is also incredible for hiking and admiring nature, with Akrafjall mountain, Glymur waterfall and the majestic Vatnajökull glacier.
You could also take the kids to North Iceland for a marine wildlife holiday. You’ll watch whales and seals, and marvel at the magic of the midnight sun in the summer months.
