Iceland for wifes 40th - December?

[Ray Singh]

Its my wifes 40th in early Decemeber. She has always wanted to goto Iceland as she wants to see the landscapes, volcanos, springs and most of all the northern lights.

Is Decemeber a good time to go?

Any hints tips on places to see or stay?

I would like to go on arranged tours as I have two children that would come along.

Thanks Schmlax - your review sold it to me. Driving in icleand sounds fun!

It will take a bit of co-ordination but will be worth it.

Rufmiester - my kids are 12 and 10 years old. I think it would be a good age to go.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies.

This evening i have booked Easyjet flights from Gatwick, an apartment just outside Reykjavik for 5 nights and a VW Golf for the week.

Looking forward to it, but a little aprehensive. It will be cold. Do the cars come with winter tyres?

What is a must to see, and does anyone have any tips to see the northen lights, whales etc?

Money saving tips would be appreciated too!
