Vestman Islands Tours: Top Activities & Excursions | Book Online

Discover the rugged beauty and untamed charm of the Vestman Islands, a volcanic archipelago just off Iceland’s southern coast. Famous for their dramatic landscapes, vibrant wildlife, and close-knit island community, the islands offer a truly unique adventure for nature lovers and explorers.

A Glimpse into the Past

The Vestman Islands have a fascinating history shaped by both man and nature. Most notably, the 1973 volcanic eruption on Heimaey forced a major evacuation and altered the island’s landscape forever. Today, visitors can see how the community rebuilt and continues to thrive in the shadow of volcanoes.

Best Time to Visit

The islands are best enjoyed from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is mild and puffins arrive in their thousands. Summer months offer longer days, making it ideal for hiking and boat tours around the striking coastline.

How do I get to the islands?

You can reach the Vestman Islands by ferry from Landeyjahöfn harbor or by a short domestic flight from Reykjavik. Ferry schedules can vary by season, so it's recommended to check in advance.

What wildlife can I see?

The islands are a haven for birdwatchers, especially during puffin nesting season. Seals and even whales may be spotted on boat tours, making it a paradise for animal enthusiasts.
