An Unforgettable Iceland Family Adventure
Iceland

Aug 11 - Aug 18, 2026
We had the best time exploring Iceland with our family of 4! Adam did an amazing job helping us plan our trip that made sense for the routes we were taking while also keeping our two children, ages 8 and 11, in mind. He recommended great restaurants, optional stops and activities that our family really enjoyed. Having a full itinerary, with all the bookings for activities, spas, hotels, car, etc, really helped take the stress out of planning and made traveling a breeze.
We were traveling specifically for the total solar eclipse, and we booked relatively late when many accommodations and activities were already filling up. Adam still managed to find us some really great accommodations, which we were so grateful for.
The eclipse day itself was challenging because there were many unknowns around traffic, crowds, weather, and how much sightseeing we could realistically do. Adam kept us updated and informed throughout and helped us understand our best options as things unfolded. We ended up seeing a lot that day on the Snaeffelsness Peninsula, but ultimately the weather led us back to the hotel for the eclipse viewing and it worked out perfectly!
Our itinerary was a little packed for us, especially with the girls dealing with jet lag the first few days, so we ended up missing some of the planned stops. However, we really appreciated having everything laid out for us. The Kimkim app was easy to navigate, and we loved being able to see the daily plan, all the stops, drive times, recommendations and details all in one place. Adam was very patient throughout the planning. I probably asked him 1000 questions, and he never once seemed bothered! He was always responsive, helpful and willing to talk through options.
Some of our favorite activities were visiting the Blue Lagoon upon arrival to Iceland, soaking in the Fontana Stream Baths and eating the rye bread while on the geothermal bakery tour, seeing real lava at the Lava show, riding Icelandic horses, and hiking on a glacier on the Katla Ice cave tour! We had an unforgettable family trip and would absolutely recommend Adam and kimkim to anyone planning a trip!
Hotel Reviews
Charming, comfortable and clean accommodation with beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed watching the solar eclipse here from the deck! The staff was all wonderful. We enjoyed the included breakfast.
Beautiful stay here on the south coast. Great location to explore Vik and surrounding areas. The room was very comfortable and clean and we loved the view!
We loved this place for our family of 4. The hotel was clean, comfortable and stylish. Wish we could have spent more than one night here as we would have loved to use the spa and see more of the cute town.
Amazing location within two blocks to rainbow road. Perfect hotel for our family of 4 for sightseeing in Reykjavik.
Activity Reviews
Our family loved the horse stable visit! Our two girls got to ride horses and had an amazing time. The staff was absolutely wonderful. This was a highlight of the trip for our kids.
My husband and I, and are young kids loved coming here and soaking for a couple of hours! One of our favorite stops on the trip!
We saw many puffins from the boat and learned a bit about them too. We really enjoyed this and liked that it was an hour long- perfect for our kids.
This was a fun thing to do on our last day to end the trip. Our kids loved it!
We did the Geothermal Bakery Tour right after our soak at the Fontana Stream. We really enjoyed the experience and loved the tasting at the end. The kids still talk about the tasty Rye bread!
Really cool experience at the Lava show! We learned so much and enjoyed seeing and experiencing real lava up close!
The Katla Ice Cave Tour was a real highlight of our trip! It was exciting to hike up the glacier in crampons and navigate the crossings on narrow wooden planks. We felt safe the entire time and it wasn't a problem for our 8 and 11 year old. We had a wonderful guide who taught us so much! The Ice Cave was small as there was a lot of melt but still incredible views and sights.
I'm so happy that you had a brilliant time, despite the cloudy weather on the Eclipse day! I think it was still interesting to experience the darkness in the middle of the day. I hope you'll be back in the Land of Fire and Ice so you can explore all the regions!
Best wishes!
Adam
