Many people around the world have an Icelandic heritage or ancestry. If that’s you, do you know the town or farm in which your family once lived in Iceland? Or, if you don’t know it, would you like to research before your trip and visit your ancestral homestead?

You can work one-on-one with a Big Time Holidays travel specialist to arrange a visit to the exact location where your ancestors once lived. In several cases, travelers have been able to see farms and homesteads. This experience offered a deeper understanding of their family’s history and personal connection to the Land of Fire and Ice.

If you don’t have Icelandic ancestry or heritage, you can still ask our specialists to arrange a visit to a farm or homestead so you can see how Icelanders once lived.
