Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Join a day of discovery and wonder as we visit the Westman Islands, also known as Vestmannaeyjar, in Icelandic. Start the day with a pick-up from Reykjavik and head to the Landeyjahöfn Ferry terminal.

Board the Herjólfur ferry for a scenic 30-minute ride to Vestmannaeyjar. Reach the islands and begin sightseeing with the stunning Elephant Rock (Halldórsskora), a basalt formation sculpted by volcanic forces, resembling an elephant's head.

Venture to Stórhöfði Cape for a captivating puffin-watching experience. Admire the black-and-white birds, known for their orange beaks and adorable looks.

Continue to the Eldheimar Museum, the 'Pompeii of the North.' Learn about the dramatic history of the 1973 volcanic eruption and its impact on the island. Stop for a lunch break in town before continuing the tour.

Move on to explore Skansinn (“The Fort”) after lunch near the harbor. Admire the historic site with its Viking Wood Church, a lighthouse, and breathtaking cliffside views.

Hike up the famous Mt. Eldfell Volcano that erupted in 1973. Learn more about the site, where the name of this mountain translates to the “Mountain on Fire.” Prepare for epic views of lava fields, the town, and the island.

Enjoy free time to stroll around the town or observe the lava fields as the day winds down. Regroup at the harbor for our return ferry trip, concluding your journey with an evening drop-off in Reykjavik.
