PARENTS: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE 10! I booked a whale watching tour with Special Tours for myself and my 5 year old daughter. The morning of the tour, I called to ask about temperatures and conditions, stating that I was bringing my young daughter with me. I was told it would be cold on the boat but that they had coveralls available for use, so to dress warmly. We dressed warmly in layers plus wool sweaters and were picked up at the bus stop we selected. There was sea sickness medicine in a bowl on the counter at the office, but a sign said that children under age 12 can't take it so I didn't give any to my daughter. We were the only tour boat out on the water. We were warned there would be splashing and that we could go below deck and put on coveralls, which we did. It was so rough that being below deck made us feel that we were going to be sick, so we eventually went back above deck. The coveralls they provide are NOT water proof. The seas were rough and everyone on board was soaked. Most people's shoes were soaked through. The waves were too big, and I was basically just gripping my daughter tightly trying not to slide around. It was almost impossible to walk between the deck and the seating area below while the boat was in motion. The tour guide offered us lemon candies, which I took but my daughter didn't want (they're not a safe candy for a child as it is, choking hazard). We didn't see any whales, just a few porpoises, and were not offered a second use of our tickets as the website and order confirmation stated we would. But the worst part is that my daughter was freezing cold, soaked through her clothes from the spray (more like a shower than a fine mist), and was sobbing in my arms the whole ride. On the ride back to town, tour guide stood chatting with a fellow passenger (apparently they're both scientists and were discussing the tourism industry in Iceland) while my loudly sobbing child and I sat shivering a couple of meters away. Neither she nor boat captain checked on anyone during the ride. One of my fellow passengers told me she'd be worried about my daughter catching hypothermia, and pointed out that another passenger and his daughter were hanging out in the front cabin with the captain. I stood up to stagger over there, that's when the guide finally noticed what was going on and helped us walk over there. There were no blankets, hot drinks, or anything offered. Inside the cabin, the captain was chatting away, comfortable and dry in a short-sleeved shirt, showing his screens and instruments to a girl and her father, completely oblivious. I told him that I had called ahead to the office and asked about temperatures and conditions, and if I had known it would be like this I never would have brought a 5 year-old child. He said the sea had turned out to be a little rougher than they expected, that was it. My daughter's lips were purple and her eyes were glassy at this point. She started getting sleepy and didn't feel cold anymore. Symptoms of hypothermia. I fed her crackers and kept her limbs moving until we got to shore. The captain said she could warm up at the office and then they would drop us back off AT THE BUS STOP where we had been picked up. We were soaked through our clothes and freezing and they were going to leave us at a bus stop. I texted her dad to pick us up at the dock, which he did. We rushed her home and got her warm. We wore multiple layers of clothing plus wool sweaters, hats, coats, gloves PLUS the coveralls they provided on board. We have been on boats before without problems. We were still soaked through, freezing cold, and very seasick. I tried to get a refund, they refused and were rude about it. I did my due diligence by calling and asking about what the conditions would be like on the boat. It is the tour company's job, as the professionals, to KNOW what the conditions are and be HONEST about them, not just say it will be fine and put a child in genuine danger. Completely unreasonable, will be looking into reporting them to the authorities.

A scenic mid-day drive from Reykjavík to the west coast through Hvalfjörður tunnel past to Hraunfossar and Barnafoss lava waterfalls. Hraunfossar and Barnafossar are unique waterfalls, famous for their beauty. From there the journey lies through Húsafell, which is a beautiful nature spot situated in shelter from the mountains and the glacier. From there we are headed towards Kaldidalur, Cold Valley mountain road and up on to the massive Langjökull glacier, this is where our specially outfitted super jeeps come handy. Next up are man-made ice caves (Into the Glacier) dug Into Iceland's second largest glacier. Krauma is a spa and a restaurant where you can relax in the hot geothermal water that comes from the nearby hot spring Deildartunguhver. Deildartunguhver is the most powerful hot spring in the world. As we drive back to Reykjavík, the driver will be looking out for northern lights activity.

Myself, my husband and our two boys (11 & 12) spent three amazing days on private tours with our fantastic guide, Gisli. We did the South Coast, Golden Circle and In a Nutshell tours and they all included great content/locations. Gisli was incredibly knowledgeable about the landscape and history of the country and an all-round great guy/guide! The experience of touring Iceland in our 'monster truck' was just brilliant and highly recommended by the whole family!
