Travelling with kids

Iceland with children

Tours the operators themselves rate as family-friendly, with the short-walk, toilet-on-board, no-minimum-age ones first — and the age limits shown before you book rather than after.

The short version

  • 351 of our 1,717 tours come through this filter — 351 day tours and 0 multi-day, from 63 operators.
  • Cheapest day tour here is €43 a person.
  • This is a filter over operator data, not a hand-picked list. What it does is spelled out below, so you can judge whether it matches what you actually need.

How this list was built

Flagged family-friendly by its own operator (or tagged for families in our catalogue), rated easy or very easy, eight hours or less, with hotel pickup, and either no minimum age or one of eight and under. That combination takes it from the 754 tours carrying the flag to under 300. The flag itself is the operator's judgement, not ours — it usually means short walking and a loo on the bus — so the age limit is shown on every card rather than buried at checkout.

Travelling with kids: questions people ask

How much do travelling with kids tours cost?

From €54 to €867 a person, with a typical price of €150. That is the median of 121 per-person day-tour fares we currently sell. Multi-day packages and private charters are priced differently and sit outside those figures.

What is the cheapest of the travelling with kids tours?

Westman Islands - Reykjavik (Bus transfer from Landeyjahöfn) with Magic Iceland Travel , at €54 a person. Read what it actually is before booking on price alone — the cheapest line is sometimes an admission ticket rather than a guided trip, and a large coach costs less per seat than a small-group minibus because it gives you less time at each stop.

Why do some travelling with kids tours not show a price?

1 of the 351 are priced on request rather than published, which almost always means a private charter where the cost depends on group size and pickup point. Ask us and we will get a quote from the operator.

How many travelling with kids tours do you sell, and who runs them?

351 of them, from 63 operators: VAREN Iceland, Flyshuttle.is - Licenced Taxis, Pickmeup.is , Nordova Travel, REYKJAVIK TRANSFERS, B2cute Transfer and 57 more. Every one is a company we hold a contract with — we do not list everything in Iceland, on purpose.

How long do travelling with kids tours take?

Day tours run from 1 hour to 8 hours, most commonly about 4 hours. Pickup and drop-off are usually inside that figure, so a three-hour tour from Reykjavík can mean closer to four door to door.

Are there cheaper options than a full travelling with kids tour?

27 of these are admissions or tickets rather than guided tours — Skylagoon Transfer From Your Hotel/Airbnb from €43, for instance. Worth knowing if you are driving yourself and only need entry.

Do travelling with kids tours include hotel pickup?

351 of 351 (100%) offer pickup. The rest ask you to meet on location. Pickup is the single most common cause of a missed tour in Iceland: it runs to a window rather than a time, and the bus will not wait long.

Can I book a private version of the travelling with kids tours?

192 of the 351 are private, the other 159 are shared departures. Private costs more in total but is priced per vehicle, so for four or more people it often works out close per head — and you set the pace.

When can I do the travelling with kids tours?

Across the next 360 days of live availability we hold departures in September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August. That is a rolling window rather than the whole year, so a month missing from that list is not necessarily a month with nothing running.

Are the travelling with kids tours seasonal?

90 of 351 run only part of the year; the other 261 run all year round. In Iceland that is usually about daylight or ice rather than demand.

How late can I book travelling with kids tours?

Cutoffs run from 1 to 24 hours before departure, and 159 of them accept bookings inside 24 hours — so booking the night before is often possible. Popular winter tours sell out days ahead regardless of the cutoff.

Can I cancel a travelling with kids tour booking?

226 of 351 (64%) allow free cancellation at least 24 hours before departure. The exact window is on each tour page and comes from the operator's own policy, not ours. If the operator cancels for weather you are refunded in full.

How fit do I need to be for travelling with kids tours?

Operators rate them: 274 easy, 77 very easy. Iceland's ratings assume weather — an easy walk in still air is a different proposition in 15 m/s of wind.

Is there a minimum age for travelling with kids tours?

81 of the 351 set one, ranging from 1 to 8 years. The rest have no stated minimum, which usually means infants are allowed but not that the tour suits them.

Are travelling with kids tours suitable for children?

351 of 351 are marked family-friendly by the operator. That is their judgement rather than ours, and it usually means the walking is short and the vehicle has a toilet.

Are any travelling with kids tours accessible?

Operators have flagged accessibility on some: 27 for prams and strollers, 14 for limited mobility, 6 for limited sight, 3 for wheelchair users. Ring us before booking rather than relying on the flag alone — Icelandic sites vary enormously and a flag does not describe the terrain at the stop.

What is included in travelling with kids tours?

Varies by operator. Across these: wi-fi on board on 49, parking fees on 30, admission fees on 22, fuel surcharge on 20, bus fare on 11. Anything not listed as included is not included — Icelandic operators are literal about this.

Are travelling with kids tours guided, and in what language?

218 of 351 are guided in person, with guiding offered in Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish and 11 more. English is standard on every shared departure in Iceland; other languages usually mean a private guide.

Where do travelling with kids tours start from?

They start from Capital Region (Reykjavík), Keflavík Airport, Reykjanes & Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle area (Selfoss, Flúðir, Þingvellir), Borgarfjörður (Húsafell), Húsavík and 6 more. Where a tour starts matters more in Iceland than how long it lasts: the same tour from Reykjavík and from Vík are different days entirely.

What happens to travelling with kids tours in bad weather?

The operator cancels and refunds you in full — Icelandic operators cancel readily, and that is a good sign rather than a bad one. What they will not do is refund you for a tour that ran and simply had poor visibility. Wind cancels more tours here than rain or cold.
