What Vestmannaeyjar is known for
The Westman Islands: a small archipelago off the south coast famous for puffins, volcanic eruptions and the Eldfell crater hike.
Top things to do
- Hike to the Eldfell crater for views over the harbour
- Visit the Eldheimar museum about the 1973 eruption
- Watch puffins at Stórhöfði in summer
- Walk around the harbour and try local seafood
- Take a boat tour around the smaller islands
How to get there
Take the ferry from Landeyjahöfn, about 30 minutes from Selfoss on the south coast. The ferry ride is 35 minutes.
How long to stay
One or two nights. A day trip from Reykjavik is possible but rushed; staying overnight lets you hike and see puffins at quieter times.
When to visit
Summer for puffins, boat tours and mild weather. Winter is quiet and good for aurora, but ferry schedules are reduced.
Where to stay
A handful of guesthouses, apartments and the campsite on Heimaey. Book ahead in summer.
