Luxury Iceland Family Tours made for you

Iceland is better suited to families with older children or teenagers rather than toddlers and young children due to potential harsh weather and landscapes, and age restrictions on certain activities. That said, Jacada’s expert travel designers can adapt the trip to suit your and your family, including gentler activities to suit younger children if necessary.

Yes, there are age restrictions for visiting geothermal spas in Iceland, although these vary significantly between locations. For example, the Blue Lagoon allows children aged two and over, but children must be supervised and those under eight years old must wear free provided floaty armbands. Your travel designer will be able to advise you on the best geothermal spas for your family group and trip.

Yes, Iceland is a great destination for multi-generational family trips because there are plenty of outdoor activities with wide appeal to different ages. Jacada’s expert travel designers will tailor your trip to suit you, but a typical multi-generational family trip to Iceland might include boat trips to spot humpback whales and puffins, a Northern Lights hunting tour and exploring glacial valleys on Icelandic horses, hikes or snowmobiles.

Yes, Iceland can be suitable for people with limited mobility as long as certain accommodations are made. You should bear in mind that it may impact what you are able to do on the trip, although we will strive to give you the fullest experience possible. For example, your travel designer may incorporate more boat tours and Viking history rather than hikes to glaciers and waterfalls.

Ideally, you should aim to book a family trip to Iceland with Jacada around 6 months in advance in order to ensure the best availability for accommodation and tours. Bear in mind that busier periods, such as Christmas, will book up further in advance. However, Jacada’s expert travel designers can also adapt to work within shorter time frames where necessary.

You should pack plenty of layers and warm, waterproof clothing for visiting Iceland in the winter (December to February). While visiting Iceland during winter is a magical experience, these are the coldest months of the year and temperatures generally fall between -1°C– -5°C (23°F–30°F). We recommend thermal base layers, sturdy waterproof walking boots and insulated gloves paired with a thick, warm coat.
