Activity Level
With bobbing icebergs and bubbling mud, elusive elves and real-life reindeer, Iceland is a seemingly magical world for grandparents and grandchildren to discover together. Embark on a quest to embrace Iceland’s bounty. Whale watching, glacier trekking, fishing and horseback riding excursions are complemented by lessons on geology, the Vikings and the Sagas. Interact with Icelanders to learn about the daily lives of the people who inhabit this fascinating land.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Ride a glacier vehicle to the top of Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier.
  • Discover amazing geological features like the Gullfoss waterfall and the Great Geysir.
  • Find out if huldufólk, or "hidden people" of trolls, elves and dwarves — of which the Nordura is said to harbor a large population — truly exist.
