The Westman Islands rise straight out of the Atlantic off Iceland's south coast. Heimaey, the only inhabited island, carries the story of one of the most dramatic nights in Icelandic history. On this private day your vehicle sails with you on the ferry, so you explore the island at your own pace.
Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises.
From Reykjavík you drive along the south coast to the Herjólfur ferry. On Heimaey you visit Eldheimar, the museum built around houses dug out of the ash of the 1973 eruption, when the whole town was evacuated overnight. Then you climb Eldfell, the volcano born that night, for views over the harbour, the lava field and the neighbouring islands.
A drive around the island takes you to the best viewpoints and bird cliffs. From mid-May to August, the Westman Islands are home to one of the largest Atlantic puffin colonies in the world. In summer you can add a boat tour: a fast RIB ride into sea caves, or a gentle sightseeing boat around Heimaey.
Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, sagas and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture.
Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included, and so is the ferry crossing for your vehicle. The order of stops may be adjusted on the day due to weather, sea conditions or the ferry schedule.
Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.
Your driver-guide picks you up at your accommodation or cruise terminal, and you head south through the countryside towards the coast.
Drive onto the Herjólfur ferry with your vehicle and cross to Heimaey, with the islands rising straight out of the sea ahead. In winter or rough weather the ferry leaves from Þorlákshöfn instead of Landeyjahöfn.
Arrive in Heimaey harbour, below the dark cone of Eldfell. In summer you can join a boat tour: a fast RIB ride into sea caves and around the islands, or a covered sightseeing boat around Heimaey.
Visit Eldheimar, the museum built around a house dug out of the ash of the 1973 eruption, and hear how the whole town was evacuated in a single night. Time for lunch in town afterwards.
A short, steep walk up Eldfell, the volcano born in 1973, for views over the harbour, the new lava field and the neighbouring islands. Then a drive around Heimaey to viewpoints and bird cliffs, with puffins in season.
Take the ferry back to the mainland and relax on the drive to your accommodation or cruise terminal in the Capital Area.
