Iceland

"Every second of your trip is bound to be special in the land of hot springs, glacial lagoons, and active volcanoes. With natural landscapes that include the Blue Lagoon and black-sand beaches, Iceland is mythic. Its otherworldly quality is heightened by dark skies and the chance to see the northern lights — something every couple should do together at least once. Check in to the Hotel Rangá for an aurora wake-up call during peak activity before heading out to the on-site observatory (or the outdoor hot tubs, if that’s more your style)." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Jólabland is an Icelandic Christmas ale combining malt extract and orange soda. It is a fizzy, citrusy drink that reflects the lively spirit of Icelandic winter celebrations."

"The Norwegian Prima takes go-karting at sea to a whole other level—literally. Instead of two decks like other Norwegian ships, the Norwegian Prima’s 1,400-foot go-kart track is spread over the ship’s top three decks. And that third deck makes a huge difference."

"In Iceland with kids Friends and family called us crazy for taking our two small children on a two week tour of Iceland . In two weeks we drove 3500km in a station wagon. I've always been a supporter of the idea that outdoor life doesn't end just cause you have kids. Taking the kids to Iceland to support that theory might be seen a bit out there but to us it was as normal as can be. Having good gear and clothes for such a trip is essential...as a friend of mine once told me, "there is no bad weather, just bad clothes". At times it did feel a bit like a scene from the National Lampoon's Vacation but the memories we made there will forever stay with us. We hiked volcanos, waterfalls, a glacier, went whale watching in Northern Iceland, and traveled around the very rugged West Fjord, many times with visibility zero and extremely narrow, windy roads with no rails. We experienced gale force winds while driving and almost lost my mind thinking we will be blown away from the road. It was by far the most adventurous trip we've ever done due to the wild terrain and having the responsibility of our children. But at the end of the day we would have not done it any other way...so take your kids and GO!, anywhere, it will be a great family adventure."
