We're back with a new episode! This is the first of many new podcasts we have lined up for 2022.

In this episode, we talk about new things in Iceland that you may not know about! There's a new airline, a new premium spa, a new lava show, and more. If you're heading to Iceland, you can be one of the first to experience these attractions!

Also new are Covid regulations, though those have been pretty stable for a while. To book a Covid test if your country requires one (the United States does!) just go here:

covidtest.is (for testing in Reykjavik) testcovid.is (for testing in Keflavik near the airport)

We're here to help you plan the best Iceland itinerary possible! Check out a sample itinerary at the link below. We have new software that makes for a stunning itinerary. Let us know what you think!

On March 18th, Iceland started allowing vaccinated individuals to visit Iceland. On March 19th, a volcano erupted not too far from the airport!

[UPDATE March 31st: Well, some of the information in this episode has already changed! The volcano is still going strong, but the travel restrictions were outdated before they were even implemented. See covid.is for the latest, which is constantly changing!]

But can you bring your kids? Will the airport close? Here's what you need to know about visiting Iceland in 2021!

If you do visit, be sure to follow the rules at Covid.is. Things are kind of back to normal, but there's still plenty of mask wearing and social distancing in Iceland!

Let Iceland With Kids help you plan your vacation!

We're so excited to share this interview with Melrakki Adventures! We chat with the owners of the company, who offer small group ice save and glacier tours. Oddur and Katarina are experts about all things related to ice caves and glaciers in Iceland.

We learned so much, and we're sure you will too. Why ice caves are bluer in the winter. Why you should bring sunglasses for a glacier hike. And, how to save 15% off of a tour with Melrakki Adventures!

We honestly weren't expecting this, but Melrakki is offering a 15% discount to our podcast listeners. Book a tour on Melrakki's web site and use the coupon code icelandwithkids. The coupon is good at least through the end of 2021, but try it any time!

Melrakki offers glacier hikes to kids as young as 6, but only if their feet are big enough to wear crampons. The minimum show size is EU 34, which is a size 2 1/2 men's and 4 women's in the US. Most 6-year-olds won't have feet this big, but your 8-year-old might!

Melrakki has tons of stunning photographs from their tours on Instagram. Check out or favorites at IcelandWithKids.com/podcast. There you'll also find information about tour planning services we're offering for your 2021 or 2022 Iceland vacation!
