From Reykjavik: Puffin and Volcano Tour in Westman Islands

Join our Westman Islands tour to see the home of the world's largest puffin colony, the striking Elephant Rock, and the historic Eldfell Volcano. Find out why it's called Iceland's best-kept secret!
You’re in for a day of discovery and wonder as we visit the Westman Islands, also known as Vestmannaeyjar, in Icelandic.

We'll start the day with a pick-up from Reykjavik and head to the Landeyjahöfn Ferry terminal. From there, we'll board the Herjólfur ferry for a scenic 30-minute ride to Vestmannaeyjar.

When we reach the islands, we begin sightseeing with the stunning Elephant Rock (Halldórsskora), a basalt formation sculpted by volcanic forces, resembling an elephant's head. This natural wonder perfectly introduces the island's unique volcanic history.

Next, we'll venture to Stórhöfði Cape for a captivating puffin-watching experience. These black-and-white birds are known for their orange beaks and adorable looks.

The journey continues to the Eldheimar Museum, the 'Pompeii of the North.' Here, you'll learn about the dramatic history of the 1973 volcanic eruption and its impact on the island. After that, we will have a lunch break in town (lunch costs are not included in the tour).

After lunch, we'll explore Skansinn (“The Fort”) near the harbor, a historic site with its Viking Wood Church, a lighthouse, and breathtaking cliffside views.

Our adventure peaks with a hike up the famous Mt. Eldfell Volcano that erupted in 1973. The name of this mountain translates to the “Mountain on Fire.” Prepare for epic views of lava fields, the town, and the island!

As the day winds down, enjoy free time to stroll around the town or observe the lava fields. We'll regroup at the harbor for our return ferry trip, concluding your journey with an evening drop-off in Reykjavik.
