Have a family holiday with a touch of adventure to it that you enjoy as much as the children (and run them ragged to a smile on their face state of tiredness at the same time). Spend your days close by Geysir, Gullfoss and ∫ingvellir (the Golden Circle) and take your pick from whitewater rafting; hiking, kayaking or glacier walking.
