Midnight sun in June meant our kids barely wanted to sleep, too excited by the endless daylight streaming through the curtains. We ended up just letting them stay up and explore with us.
Reynisfjara beach with its black sand and basalt columns felt like another planet, kids collected pebbles for weeks after we got home. The waves there are genuinely dangerous looking so we kept a tight grip on both children the entire time. Still one of the most striking places we have ever taken our family, worth every bit of the drive.
The surf at Reynisfjara looked genuinely dangerous so we kept a firm grip on both, but it's the most striking place we've taken them.
Loved the landscapes though four nights genuinely felt rushed with two young kids in the car for long hours between stops. By day three everyone was cranky from the drives even though each individual waterfall or beach was stunning. Would suggest adding a night if travelling with children under ten.
Thingvellir left my teenager quiet for once, standing between two tectonic plates does that to you.
Vik church viewpoint at the end of our drive was such a calm finish to a mad adventure. The kids fell asleep in the car before we even left the parking lot.
